Last month I announced my next crazy idea, a free online conference, and then I asked for your help picking the logo. Now it’s time to take the wrapping off.
The first GroupBy Conference is now open for session submissions!
November 20-Dec 15 – Open call for abstracts, and readers can vote on which sessions they like.
December 16 – Voting closes, winners are announced, and registration starts. (No big mystery here, since your votes choose the winning sessions.)
January 13 – The first online event. We’ll be recording the sessions live, then uploading them to YouTube afterward for permanent archival.
I’m announcing it here on Ozar.me first because I wanna give you, dear reader, an early chance to get in on submitting abstracts. I’ll announce it next Tuesday on BrentOzar.com, which has a much higher readership audience, and at that point, sessions that are already in the running will have a much easier chance of getting high vote counts.
Head on over to GroupBy.org and check it out. For questions, feel free to use the forums over there. Let’s do this!
