• We had a lot of SQL Saturdays in 2013 ( 84 by my count), a new conference (SQL Interesction) along with ones we've had for years (SQL Bits, PASS Summit, SQL Connections).

    In addition to the ones you mentioned, PASS put on its first Business Analytics Conference, which did well enough to be brought back for 2014. It also moved the Summit out of Seattle for the first time in several years, and that went smoothly. Overall, a very good year for SQL Server events.
