What we’re about
The New England SQL Server User Group, a member of the Azure Data Community, is one of the oldest user groups focused on the Microsoft Data Platform. Our meetings feature high-quality presentations on all aspects of the database engine and its related features wherever the data lives - on prem, in the cloud, or in a hybrid environment.
We strive to have an inclusive environment with speakers of all backgrounds represented. We also support and encourage our local community members getting started as speakers by providing opportunities to speak at the meetings. Our goal is to create a welcoming environment for all to network, grow and learn with others.
This is a FREE group that meets the second Wednesday of every month (usually). We meet at the Microsoft offices at 5 Wayside Road, Burlington, MA. RSVPs generally open up 1 week prior to the meeting. An email will be sent out announcing the meeting. We look forward to seeing you.

A Practical Introduction to Vector Search in SQL Server 2025
Speaker: Andy Yun
Are you uncertain if SQL Server 2025 Vector Search has useful applications? Concerned that it is just more AI hype?
Then join me in this session, where I’ll break down how Vector Search works, where it fits into the AI landscape, and how you can use it today—on-prem and without changing your core architecture.
We’ll cover:
* The foundations of vector embeddings and similarity search
* How SQL Server implements Vector Search, including indexing and querying
* Code demos and practical use case exploration
You’ll leave armed with the knowledge to look beyond the hype and understand how Vector Search can work for you.36 attendees
