There are many SQL Server Saturday type events happening in the US, but this is the first we've attempted to host here. Its been a "handfull" to organise to say the least, but enjoyable nonetheless.
Its taking place on the 19th of September 2009 at Digicomp Academy, and all you need do to attend is register on the Event's Website: www.sqlsaturday.ch.
We've got 3 tracks, BI, App Development and Database Administration 5 sessions per track and a good balance between English and German Language sessions, which allows attendees to attend most sessions but also break out and hear something in another track that they generally wouldn't havegone to or catch up or be introduced to colleagues in their field who are at the event.
