There’s nothing quite like attending Summit in person to reconnect with friends and make new professional connections to boost your career. If you’re still on the fence about whether to attend in person – now’s the time to secure your spot! Register now, and you’ll be in great company with like-minded data professionals in Seattle.

We do, however, recognise that there are potentially many reasons why folks may not be able to attend in person. Livestreaming a selection of sessions gives data professionals around the world the opportunity to hear the latest announcements from Redgate, Microsoft, Intel, AWS and community experts.

A handpicked selection of livestreamed sessions

16 sessions have been handpicked to be livestreamed, as they happen, because they represent topics of interest to the broader data community. Redgate, for example, will be giving a preview of the findings from the 2024 State of the Database Landscape report, as well as announcing a new product launch which will transform software delivery with Test Data Management.

Similarly, Microsoft will showcase the latest innovations across the Azure databases portfolio that will optimize performance and scale, reduce administrative burdens and help build new, AI-ready applications.

To complement the growing number of sessions focused on PostgreSQL at Summit this year, AWS will be providing a three-step guide to modernizing SQL Server workloads to PostgreSQL with minimal code changes.

Community experts, meanwhile, will be talking about issues including compliance auditing for SQL Server and Azure SQL Database, and a Women in Technology luncheon panel will discuss typical obstacles women encounter in the workplace and how to find allies to fight them.

The opportunity to learn more, connect more, achieve more

The livestreamed sessions are, of course, just a taster of what Summit attendees will experience in person, in Seattle, and tickets are still available. As well as being able to learn from industry experts and plan a conference schedule to level up specific skills, attendees also have the opportunity to meet and connect with like-minded data professionals in the SQL Server, Azure SQL and PostgreSQL community.

Discover the full catalog of sessions from community experts and IT professionals representing leading companies in the data and database space including Microsoft, Intel, AWS and Redgate, as well as Google, Pure Storage, SolarWinds, Databricks, Datavail and Quest.

We look forward to seeing you in Seattle – or welcoming you online!
