The SQL Community Engineering Connection Series
Every other Thursday, members of the Microsoft SQL Product Group will deliver deep dive technical sessions that will give you a direct line to the people building the technology they use every day. Microsoft will set the agenda, identified topics and speakers, and will provide everything we need to publish this meeting. These meetings are exclusive to user groups in the Azure Data Community and all their members. They're designed to offer practical insights, demos, and deep dive learnings from our engineers and product managers – helping bring fresh, relevant content straight to you while reigniting the sense of connection between the Product Group and the broader SQL community.
