Session details:
**1\. Chris Reddington \- GitHub for the Data Professional**
GitHub is just that tool which developers use on Open Source projects, right? Not quite!
You could be using Github in your day-to-day work. Have you thought about storing your SQL scripts, or machine learning workbooks in Git repositories?
How about checking the quality of the content that you've version controlled? Or thinking about the security of your project?
These are all things that GitHub can help with! Join Chris in this session as he provides a holistic overview for data professionals on GitHub, GitHub Enterprise and GitHub Advanced Security.

**2\. Magnus Ahlkvist \- New and improved features in SQL Server 2022**
On May 24, Microsoft announced the public preview of SQL Server 2022. In this session, we will look at the new and the improved features in SQL Server, including but not limited to:
\- Azure SQL Managed Instance link \- Use Azure as your DR "site"\, or use this feature to migrate your on\-prem SQL Server to Azure SQL Managed Instance\.
\- New programmability features in T\-SQL
\- New and improved Intelligent Query Processing features\.
