It seems that the SQL community is really growing. There are now quite a few events that you can attend in 2010 to help further your SQL education. It’s worth the investment to travel a little if any of these are close to you.
And if you’re a speaker, or want to give it a try, consider submitting an abstract to one of these events. Many of them would love to give you a chance to help others.
Here is the current list in date order. I’ve included a couple other events in addition to all the SQL Saturdays.

That’s 12 events in the first half of the year, in addition to all the paid conferences that are going on! Very impressive and kudos to the community for getting these events set up.
Be sure you thank your local organizers and speakers if you attend.
