The next SQL Bits conference, the largest SQL Server conference in Europe, will be held at the Celtic Manor Resort in Newport South Wales, England. For the first time, this event will be held for three days, from November 19-21, 2009.
The first day (Thursday, November 19, 2009), will include five different full day, deep dive sessions. The second day (Friday, November 20, 2009) will focus on sessions on SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server 2008 R2. The third day (Saturday, November 21) will offer three different simultaneous tracks (DBA, DEV, BI).
While the conference sessions on Saturday are free (as they have been in the past), there will be a charge for those who want to attend the Thursday and Friday events. Check out their website for more information.
