This is the inaugral Midlands SQL Server User Group, being held in a pub in the middle of Birmingham. To kick things off, we've got two of the best SQL Server speakers around, Allan Mitchell and Neil Hambly. They'll be presenting two sessions, one focusing on Business Intelligence and one with a more DBA slant. This should mean there's something for everyone.
Remember to tell your friends and the people you work with; make sure you register as soon as you can.

StreamInsight is Microsoft’s first foray into the world of Complex Event Processing (CEP) and Event Stream Processing (ESP). In this session I want to show an introduction to this technology. I will show how and why it is useful. I will get us used to some new terminology but best of all I will show just how easy it is to start building your first CEP/ESP application.
7:00pm - 8:00pm Break, Nibbles & Beer
8:00pm - 9:00pm Service Broker
