SQLDay is one of the largest data-focused conferences in Central Europe, bringing together professionals, practitioners, and enthusiasts working with databases, Big Data, Business Intelligence, data engineering, and advanced data analytics.

Since 2009, SQLDay has been a place for the data community to exchange practical knowledge, share real-world experience, and discuss the technologies and challenges shaping modern data platforms.

The conference features technical sessions delivered by experienced speakers from Poland and abroad, covering both established technologies and emerging trends across the broader data ecosystem.

SQLDay is organized by Data Community Poland, formerly known as the Polish SQL Server User Group (PLSSUG), continuing the same community-driven tradition behind the conference over the years.
