It's that magical time of year again where we have our all day FREE technical conference at a local site. This year, we are once again holding our conference at Washington State University Vancouver, up in the Salmon Creek area. As many of you know, the active leadership lives in the Vancouver area, so we've naturally migrated the event to Vancouver due to the availability of high-quality sites with excellent parking. We're in partnership with WSU Vancouver and the WSU Vancouver MIS Club to continue our tradition of almost 20 years of SQL Saturdays/now Day of Data!
This year we are going to have pre-cons again for the first time in many years, and all three topics are from premier presenters with a small cover charge of 150.00 to help pay for their time creating an all-day workshop that includes labs, exercises, handouts, lunch, and most importantly, access to the teacher for the whole day!
Also, we're managing the Data Bus. This year it made more financial sense to charter a bus due to the cost and lack of flexibility of Amtrak. Let's see how it goes.
Please follow the link to be able to register for the event, the pre-cons, and the Data Bus.
We have one more meeting this year and then we'll see about finally getting back to an in-person format. We know it's been a chaotic year, but we're looking forward to seeing you at the Day of Data!
As always, free event, free coffee. Lunch is provided, but you have the option to donate as you see fit to help cover our costs for the event.
Here is the link to the Day of Data website that allows registration via Zeffy, our campaign platform.
