What happened to SQL Relay?

If you haven’t been to an event in a while, you might not know that SQL Relay became Data Relay in 2018. The name change reflects the breadth of technologies which the Microsoft Data Platform has grown to encompass and which you’ll find represented at our events.

Even if your last event was a SQL Relay, you’ll know what to expect from Data Relay — all that’s changed is the name. Just like SQL Relay, Data Relay continues to bring great expert sessions and in-depth workshops to the community, for free.
