On the 9th March 2026, the London Excel Meetup will have a live event in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

Session details
Melissa de Korte will be presenting at the event on 'The Magic of Records in M'.

Think you know M? Think again.
Tables usually take centre stage, but Records are where much of the magic happens. In this session, we’ll pull back the curtain on why Records matter and how they are key to developing cleaner, and more resilient queries.
Expect to walk away with a fresh perspective, a deeper appreciation for Records, and inspired to try them out yourself. You’ll be surprised just how much of an impact something so simple can have!

Meetup details
Before and after the presentation, there will be lots of opportunity to network.
As is usual with these LEM on Tour events, it is intentionally booked for the Monday, so that those travelling can enjoy a weekend in the fabulous city of Amsterdam.

This event is live and in-person only. It will not be recorded.
