Everyone is welcome whether it is your first talk or you have done keynotes on the big stage.

London VMUG Events for 2025

2025 Call for speakers. We only support In-person speakers at this point in time. 

We allow all data platform topics from SQL on premises to the newest Fabric SQL Database as well as other data topics. If you work in data and think your topic would be of interest to other data professionals we welcome you!

Cloud computing is already a multi-billion dollar business for Microsoft, and yet Azure is just now hitting its stride. Perhaps you're a long-time MS stack developer wondering "where do I go from here?" Maybe you're a seasoned dev manager or director curious how cloud in general and Azure in particular might fit into your next project. If you're looking for the future of Microsoft on the server and in the enterprise... you've found it! This group caters to all things Microsoft Azure and cloud computing. We'll explore a range of topics in three key areas (in likely order of decreasing frequency):

1. Nuts-and-bolts Azure dev tools, APIs, features, etc... "how to accomplish in Azure"

2. Higher-level topics on cloud computing patterns, architectural best practices, data access strategies, etc. with a focus on applying these in the Microsoft Azure environment

3. Business-oriented topics like cloud economic and pricing models, cloud migration strategies, legal and compliance implications of the cloud, etc.

Ultimately our topic list is determined by the interests of the group members. We meet monthly and vary meeting formats as needed; mostly a 30 minute meet-and-greet followed by a 60-90 minute presentation, but some months we'll do two smaller presentations, we'll even try multiple 15 minute lightning talks if we have sufficient interest. We'll keep things relatively informal... as long as the sessions are relevant and engaging for the audience, that's what matters most. Hope you'll come out and join us!

We meet the third Friday of every month from 12pm to 1pm EST. Currently we are meeting remotely on Teams.

Vad är Kompetensdagen?

Kompetensdagen är en intern kompetenskonferens som anordnas av Omegapoint Academy åtta gånger per år. Vem som helst kan hålla ett pass och alla anställda är välkomna som deltagare.

Ämnena som tas upp på de olika passen ska vara relevanta för vår kompetensutveckling och/eller bidra till att vi utvecklas som konsulter, kollegor eller människor - i vid bemärkelse.

Normalt hålls Kompetensdagen mellan klockan 13.00 och 17.00 den andra arbetsbara fredagen varje månad, med uppehåll under sommaren (juli och augusti) samt de månader då den stora kompetenskonferenserna OpKoKo och LoKoKo anordnas. Lunch ingår för alla som anmäler att de vill ha det och den serveras cirka klockan 12.00. 

We are a group dedicated to providing our community with education on SQL data technologies. Any topic related to data, AI, and SQL query languages is welcome.

Our group normally meets Thursday from 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM PST.

Hope to hear fro you.

We are .NET Zuid, a User Group for and by software development professionals who work with Microsoft technology.

.NET Zuid has two goals:

• Share the passion for technology in an informal, friendly setting
• Bring together companies and talent in the South of the Netherlands

We are very passionate about technology and everything that is needed to create awesome software! We like to share this passion by organizing knowledge events for new and not so new technologies, with a strong focus on Microsoft.

We distinguish ourselves from other user groups by not only addressing technology, but also handling soft-skills. We believe that the current software professional has to be a progressive technician, but also needs the right set of soft-skills to be successful.

We do all of this in the South of the Netherlands. This is because we would like to organize events that our Southern Software Heroes don't have to travel too far for.

It is also because we think there are some awesome companies in the South of the Netherlands that do awesome stuff with software but aren't too well known within the community of software professionals. That's why we enable these companies to showcase themselves during these events, in a friendly atmosphere.

Of course, all our activities are FREE for our members!
