Call for Speakers for SQL Friday season 9 and 10 is open!
Call for Speakers for season 9 and 10 is open! https://sessionize.com/sql-friday-october-18-2024-and-onwards. New speakers more than welcome, with a special offer to find a mentor for you if you want/need. These two seasons, we will keep the Call for Speakers open way into season 10, and session selection will happen continously.
Diversity matters
SQL Friday is for everyone who is interested in SQL Server. Everyone. That’s a lot of people. Yet, in some of the previous seasons, the speaker line-up have not reflected this. Therefore, I want to make clear that diversity will be a very important factor when I do session selection. Some people call this “positive discrimination”. I’m not at all a fan of that word, because I don’t intend to discriminate anyone. But I will look at not only the session abstract, but also at the speaker’s background, experience etc. Chances are, I will even approach some speakers and ask them for help to make the speaker line-up reflect the community SQL Friday is intended for. Everyone.
