Efficient learning environment
Because we get the atmosphere right, you learn and retain an astonishing amount at SQLBits. Attendees have stated they learn more in four days than in two weeks of watching educational videos.

World class experts
We get the best speakers in the world – often you’ll be hearing directly from people who have designed the platforms, written the code, and developed the product, there for you to ask all the questions you need, and carry on conversations, post-session.

Run by people in the industry, for people in the industry.
Unlike most of the other events around, we’re organised by volunteers working in data themselves, not a corporate event company. Therefore, our primary focus is on quality education, collaboration and networking, not on making money (we’re actually not-for-profit.)

Inclusive
SQLBits has had inclusivity at its heart from day 1 and has created a space for learning, collaboration, and networking that feels comfortable and accessible to all.

Amazing venue

We'll look after you
If you’re keen to attend but don’t know anyone else going, welcome! We’d love to have you along. You’ll find SQLBits a welcoming and supportive environment anyway, but if you would like a little extra support, allow us to introduce the Bits Buddies – think of them as friends you just haven’t met yet.
