The first ever SQL Saturday in California was a successful event all in all. There was only a short time to prepare for the event but we can say that the event was a success. It was a good start for all the SQL Saturday events to come in the Southern California region. It’s a giant leap to sow the seed of awareness in this region – there exists a SQL Server Community that is open and always willing to help.

Andrew Karcher ( Blog | Twitter ) said it best:

“We have positively impacted the education, knowledge, capabilities of not only our attendees, but also all of their companies and people they might help as well. That is just staggering and something to be immensely proud of.”

Event Organizers (Left to Right): Marlon Ribunal, Phil Robinson, Andrew Karcher, Thomas Mueller, Ram Yalamanchili, and Bret Stateham

What Happened In SQL Saturday # 44 – Huntington Beach, CA

Andrew Karcher, MVP – Andrew wrote a cool recap of the event. He is the overall lead of the event. We thank him for the good job he has done. He is an experienced (veteran) event organizer here in SoCal that is why he had the upper hand in the overall logistics of the event.

Carlos Bossy – Carlos is one of the speakers at the event. He hopes “our paths cross again in the very near future”. See you at the next SoCal SQL Saturday, Carlos!

GWC Newsroom – We made it to the Golden West College news. It’s good that they’ve included the list of our sponsors. This is a good bird’s eye view of what the event was all about.
