I've just booked my place at SQLBits The 7 Wonders of SQL and am excited already!
The seventh installment of this conference will be held at York University and the line-up of speakers and subjects is simply mouth-watering. Speakers include Simon Sabin, Brent Ozar, Kevin Kline, Andrew Couch, Chris Webb, Neil Hambly, Tony Rogerson, Allan Mitchell, Andre Kamman, Christian Bolton and Brad McGehee. You can check out the full line up here.
As per the Wales conference back in November 2009, the Thursday and Friday are fee-based training days and the Saturday is a free community day. I think you'll agree by the quality of speakers and topics that it's great value for money.
Be quick to register though, this could get booked up pretty quickly.
SQL Server Free Community Conference brought to you by the top MVPs and speakers in the UK covering all aspects of Microsoft SQL Server.

I've volunteered to help out at this year's event, so if you're attending and you recognise me, please come and say hello :-)
