This is a continuous Call for Speakers for the Microsoft Integration User Group in Belgium.

This community group is all about integration. We provide a platform for knowledge sharing. Our main goal is to inform you on all the new innovations which are happening within the integration space and get you in contact with the experts in the field. At least twice a year we also organize an online or face 2 face event, with interesting speakers providing information about the newest techniques and services Microsoft has to offer and specific use cases implemented at customers. We aim to make it hands-on and low-level, so everyone can be empowered to do it themselves. 

This is the ongoing call for speakers for the OWASP Helsinki Chapter.

Use this to submit talks, workshops, or any other ideas you might have and would like to present to the local community in one of the upcoming chapter events.

The AWS DMV and Cleveland User Groups are soliciting speakers for our monthly events. We have a unique situation in that Cleveland is virtual and DMV is done IN PERSON at the AWS HQ2 offices. Past speakers have told us that they love being able to do the Cleveland talk first to get some feedback before doing their talk in person in DC. That is why we have combined this CFP. 

AWS User Groups are a place for AWS practitioners to increase their skills and network with their peers. Groups are run by volunteers and do not generate a profit. 

These User Groups are a great venue for new speakers as the community is interested in great content, not professional speakers. If you've done an interesting project on AWS or have an area of speciality, please submit your talk. 

PLEASE NOTE that you will need to get yourself to HQ2 for the in-person talk and that a lot of planning and sometimes money has gone into these events. If you commit to a date, we need you to show up and be prepared. 

The DMV User Group meets the 2nd Thursday of the month. The CLE User Group generally meets the 1st Thursday of the month, but has more flexibility since it's virtual. Dates are not available in months with industry conflicts (Jan = re:Invent re:Cap, June = AWS Summits & Midwest Community Day, Oct = DMV Community Day, Nov-Dec = re:Invent)

Welcome to the Stockholm SQL Meetup! This group is for anyone with an interest in SQL Server and Azure Sql, whether you're a beginner looking to learn the basics or a seasoned pro wanting to discuss advanced topics.

Join us for informative presentations, hands-on workshops, and networking with fellow SQL Server enthusiasts. Whether you're a developer, analyst, DBA, or data scientist, this group is open to all who want to deepen their understanding and expertise in SQL Server and Azure SQL.

Code of conduct

If you participate in Stockholm SQL, you must follow this simple code of conduct.

Be nice to people. This includes the speaker, the host/moderator and of course all the other attendees. Respect other people’s right to their own space. Don’t get in peoples face.

Understand that you can not and may not be the judge of anyone else’s feelings. If you do something that offends someone, even when that is not the purpose, don’t argue. Just back down. You may or may not understand what was going on, but Stockholm SQL is not meant for you to test limits.

See, that wasn’t so hard, was it? If you feel anyone is not respecting this very simple Code of Conduct, contact one of the organisers (Magnus and Daniel) – we want to keep SQL Friday clean from abuse.
