EightKB 2025 CfP

EightKB is back for 2025! Our call for speakers is open and you can find it here: - https://sessionize.com/eightkb-august-2025//

We’re doing something slightly different this year, four sessions will be on SQL Server internals but the fifth session can be on ANY TECH TOPIC YOU LIKE, as long as it’s 300 level and above.

There’s no topic too advanced, you can do as many or as little demos as you’d like, choose a session length from 45 to 75 mins, and we’ll help you prepare every step of the way (if you’d like us to). You can take questions during your session or we can compile them for you to answer in a blog post after the event.

Also after the event, we’ll give you feedback from the attendees and an unbranded recording of your session for you to do with as you like!

The event is happening on the 21st of August so there’s plenty of time yet!

We hope you can be part of another great event!

We created this event to fill a void in the SQL Server conference line-up. While there are many important topics to discuss and things to learn in the SQL Server world, we want this conference to focus on the core components of SQL Server, the things that make SQL Server work. EightKB is about expert topics, not expert speakers. If you have expert experience about any SQL Server topic, the community wants to hear you speak. If you aren’t yet an expert speaker, we will help you with your abstract and session and even pair you with a mentor if you like. A core goal of this conference is to enable SQL Server professionals to bring their whole selves to the event. In particular, we believe that a diverse and inclusive speaker community is foundational to everyone feeling welcome at our conference.
