SQL Relay 2015


SQL Relay is a SQL Server event which travels round the country.  I was privileged to help with the event at Bristol. The Bristol event was held on 13 October at Future Inns, Bond Street Bristol. There were 4 tracks covering DBA / SQL Engine, Business Intelligence, Analytics and a Workshop track.  



Some videos from the SQL Relay events are available to watch on YouTube.
