SQL Ireland – Annual Christmas Event 2021

As has become a tradition we are having lightning talks on Tues 14th December at 18:30 pm with prizes awarded for best speakers to celebrate the end of the SQL data professional year.

This year is virtual in teams, but please do bring along an after dinner drink and mince pies ;-)

Talks are fast and snappy at max 5 mins each. Any topic related to the Microsoft Data Platform is good. This is the perfect chance to dip your toe in the water on public speaking. Special prizes for best new speaker and a few other random categories like the entertainer.

To register to speak at the Christmas session email dublin@sql.ie or fill in the Sessionize form below.
