SQLBits Extra Events

At SQLBits the fun doesn’t stop when the sessions do. We’re famous for the range of extracurricular things to get involved with that turns traditional networking completely on its head. What’s more, everything is included in the price of your ticket.

What better way to set up for Tuesday’s training days than to kick back, pop the lid on a few beers (or your chosen beverage!) and spend some time with your friends and trainers the night beforehand in this networking event to get the week started.

Prize giving

Daytime event

It’s a SQLBits tradition that every day after sessions end, we gather for a prize giving; this includes a winner drawn at random from all feedback received that day, and the daily winners of competitions run on our sponsors’ stands. If your name comes out and you’re not there, we redraw, so make sure to stick around for this!
