On April 5, 2025, Simple Talk will be a sponsor at SQL Saturday #1106<\/a> in Richmond Virginia. Having worked for a company in Virginia Beach for most of my career, Richmond’s events were always a regular stop for me over the years. I have known many of the organizers for years, but particularly Wayne Sheffield whom I worked with years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will be attending this event, and I am pretty excited about it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This will be my first Richmond event since 2019, and I am looking forward to hanging out with some old friends, and hopefully making a few new friends. Looking at the schedule, there are people I know (including one that I just saw last week at PostgresConf <\/a>in Orlando, and another I saw at SQL Saturday Atlanta BI the week before that), but there are plenty of folks I may have never met before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are in the area, it isn’t too late to check out their pre-conference sessions by a couple of people I know quite well Andy Leonard and Rick Lowe<\/a>. (Click here to go ahead and register<\/a>!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last thing I have to do is figure out what to bring for our giveaway. We typically do Lego, but this conference is the place where I got my first Razer perifocal…so who knows?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
