Without past, there would be no future. An outcome of persistent efforts and indomitable perseverance resulted in Asia’s First SQL Conference in the year 2015. At SQLServerGeeks Annual Summit 2015 (SSGAS 2015), 50+ speakers delivered 70+ sessions in 5 tracks across 3 days for 800+ attendees –a remarkable beginning!
Continuing the success, SQLServerGeeks Annual Summit 2016 (SSGAS 2016) witnessed a bigger and better conference. 3 days, 5 tracks, 70+ speakers, 130+ sessions, 1000+ attendees – the learning event was a grand success and embarked it’s position as a signature tech event of India. The data & analytics professionals in India learned from the who’s who of the industry. Microsoft SQL CAT Team, SQL TIGER Team, Global Black Belt Team, Product Engineers from Redmond, USA – name it and they were there.
The third conference was re-named Data Platform Summit 2017. DPS 2017 saw the IT Minister of Karnataka inaugurating the 3-day learning event, followed by an intriguing keynote by Mr. Narendra Bhandari (GM, Microsoft India). More than 200 sessions were delivered by 80+ speakers on the following tracks – Database Administration, Database Development, Data Science, Cloud, IoT & NoSQL, Big Data & VLDBs, and Professional Development.
In the fourth year, we broke many barriers. DPS was shifted to a five-star property with world-class infrastructure, more Pre-Cons were added and summit sessions were highly curated. DPS 2018 set new standards for the industry to follow by making the conference sponsor-free. 0% Marketing, 100% Learning. The best from the industry & Microsoft joined us, and it was mind-blowing. Five days of non-stop learning and our delegates wanted more. DPS 2018 was majestically executed and feedbacks from delegates were overwhelming. Rohan Kumar, Corporate Vice President, Azure Data Group, from Redmond along with his team delivered a marvelous keynote, much-awaited by the industry.
And then came the landmark: The 5th edition, Data Platform Summit 2019. Building on the massive success of 2018, DPS 2019 delivered new features like Round Tables, Ask-The-Experts/Community Zone, along with regular breakout sessions, open-talks and chalk-talks. Keynote was delivered by Gayle Sheppard, Corporate Vice President, Azure Data Group & Azure Data Team members. Focusing on diversity and inclusion, Gayle Sheppard also hosted the first-eve Women-In-Technology round table at DPS.
And here comes the all-new DPS 2020. Virtual. Round-The-Clock. Non-Stop seven days & nights of learning. On-Demand access to all the recordings at no extra cost. Yeah, we are breaking records again!
