The August meeting will take place on Thursday, August 29th, at 2:30 PM
We're returing to the Microsoft offices at 10801 Mastin Blvd - 6th floor, Overland Park, Kansas, United States (map)

The release date for SQL Server 2019 is just around the corner - We'll cover what's new, why it matters, and how these features can help the security, scalability, and availability of your applications. We'll also show a working SQL Server 2019 Big Data Cluster, and touch on deploying SQL Server 2019 in a Kubernetes cluster. There will be lots of live demos, with very little powerpoint!
