Please note this meeting is starting at 6:00 which is later than the usual time. Also note this meeting is Bring Your Own Dinner because we were not able to find a sponsor this month.

Speakers present a different topic each month covering both SQL BI topics and relevant non-SQL technologies. Dinner, refreshments, and door prizes are provided by sponsors.
