We're a free, community-run group focused on SQL Server, Azure data platform, Power BI, .NET, and related Microsoft technologies.
Meetings feature presentations from local experts and Microsoft MVPs, followed by open discussion and networking. Whether you're a seasoned DBA, a .NET developer, an analytics specialist, or just getting started — you're welcome here.
