Wellington SQL Server User Group

Welcome  

The Wellington SQL Server User Group is a community user group that strives to promote networking and professional interaction to help the SQL Professional get the most out of Microsoft SQL Server, and to strengthen the profile of SQL Server in the Wellington IT Industry. There is a large community of both developers and IT Professionals using SQL Server that stands to benefit from more regular and accessible activities in Wellington.

The group usually meets at 5:30pm on the third Thursday of the month at Intergen, Level 7 Plunket House, 126 Lambton Quay, Wellington (but this may change from time to time, so please check details below for confirmation).

Membership, meetings and presentations are free unless advised otherwise. To join, click on the "Register" link under login on this page, and enter your details. Any enquiries can be sent to wellingtonssug@gmail.com.
