Good news! My training day workshop, Dev/Prod Demon Hunters, was sold out, but Bits just moved me into the auditorium with way more capacity and space for you to stretch out.

Plus, there’s power and tables at each seat. Feel free to bring your charger, gadget, and laptop. You don’t have to follow along, but it’ll be nice for note-taking and for asking questions online, since I’ll have Pollgab up for questions so you don’t have to raise your hand and yell.

So to celebrate, I’m giving the attendees my Fundamentals & Mastering Bundle free for a year! Here’s everything you wanna know to attend.

The conference is at the International Convention Center in Newport, Wales.

• Weds, 22 April: training days & general sessions, including my all-day workshop, Dev-Prod Demon Hunters: Finding the Real Cause of Production Slowness – and attendees get a free Fundamentals & Mastering Bundle
• Weds evening: welcome drinks in the exhibit hall, board games night, code club
• Thursday, 23 April: training days & general sessions, including my panel discussion, 20 Years of the Cloud: What Changed, What Didn’t, What’s Next
• Thursday night: Pub Quiz
• Friday, 24 April: training days & general sessions, including my session, Watch Brent Tune a Query in SQL Server 2025
• Friday Night: the legendary SQLBits fancy dress party – this year’s theme is “cartoons”, which I also take to include anime, manga, and animation, heh
• Saturday, 25 April: free day of general sessions, including my new session, Pokemon Battle, Choose Your Index: You Can’t Have Them All

SQLBits also has ticket + hotel packages for a handful of nearby hotels – expand the “Accommodation” section on that page to see the prices and hotels.
