The DDD style of events is really taking off here in the UK.  Now the database guys have taken up the mantel and are putting on SQLBits.

Taking place on Saturday Oct 6th the first SQL Community conference (SQLBits – http://www.SQLBits.com) will have 20 sessions in 4 tracks (Business Intelligence, DBA, Development and Katmai) . And even better its totally FREE! Full registration is now open, places are going fast, and there’s only room for 350 people only.

To be able attend you need to register on the www.sqlbits.com site and then select the 10 sessions (http://www.sqlbits.com/information/PublicSessions.aspx) you would most like to see. The voting will be used to help decide which sessions are to be run. Over 36 sessions crossing the full SQL Server spectrum have been submitted by speakers and only 20 slots are available, so YOU help to decide the agenda. Once you have selected and saved your selection you will be given the conference registration URL.
