Call for speakers – SQL Bits 2008, 13th September – Hatfield OPEN!!

We are looking for sessions that cover any topic, and I mean any, related to SQL Server, Database Administration like Design, High Availability, Tuning etc.., Development like coding (application, CLR etc..), Business Intelligence – SSAS, SSIS, SSRS etc... – Basically anything you think relevant and would interest the general SQL professional using SQL Server whether full or part time.

Please submit your sessions to SQLBits Cubed, any problems or questions please email me Allan Mitchell and I’ll do my best to answer.

Sessions are 60 minutes; although we can split the sessions up into multiples if you feel you only want to do part of that time. If you want to do a multi-speaker session then that is fine also.

The deadline for session submission is 4th July 2008 so get your session proposals in quickly!
