Free one-day community training events for the Microsoft data platform (SQL Server, Power BI, Azure, Fabric), each organized by a local user group and numbered sequentially (#1 Orlando, Nov 2007). Created by Andy Warren, Brian Knight and Steve Jones; handed to PASS in 2010 (SQLSaturday #33 Charlotte), which ran the franchise and the sqlsaturday.com event platform (schedules, sponsor tiers, 'Global SQLSaturday Partner' program, XML feeds) until PASS ceased operations on 15 Jan 2021. Redgate bought PASS's assets at auction in 2021 and donated the SQLSaturday domain and trademarks to the SQL Saturday Corporation, a US 501(c)(3) nonprofit established in May 2021 with a community-appointed board (Redgate keeps one seat). Since 2022 events run under that corporation with schedules on Sessionize; in 2026 many events were rebranded 'Day of Data' (dayofdata.org, 'the evolution of SQL Saturday') while keeping the SQLSaturday numbering. Many European events (Denmark, Holland, Austria, Croatia, etc.) moved to the separate Data Saturdays network after 2021; SQLSaturday Denmark, Holland and Lisbon did not run as SQLSaturdays in 2019 or later (Denmark had only a small virtual #963 in 2020). Admission is free; many events charge an optional lunch fee ($15-18 in recent US events) and paid pre-cons the day before. Social accounts are the SQL Saturday Corporation's. SCOPE (hundreds of events, so only larger ones are recorded): 2019 onward, events with 40+ scheduled sessions (PASS-era XML feed or repo schedule for 2019-2020; Sessionize 'Sessions' view for 2021+), plus explicit exceptions: Houston 2025 (#1120, named flagship city, 29 sessions), Prague 2019 (#889) and Vienna 2020 (#917) as the largest remaining central-European SQLSaturdays, and the virtual milestone #1000 Oregon 2020. 2020-21 virtual events otherwise excluded. Included (54): 2019 Atlanta #845, New York City #912, Baton Rouge #867, Los Angeles #891, Philadelphia #835, Orange County #847, Indianapolis #886, Chicago #825, Orlando #911, Jacksonville #820, South Florida #864, Nashville #815, Dallas #841, Minnesota #913, Oregon #920, Austin #890, Pittsburgh #907, Charlotte #918, Phoenix #869, Cleveland #821, Tampa #859, Madison #842, Denver #908, Boston #877, Madrid #904, Prague #889; 2020 Tampa #951, Nashville #933, Vienna #917, Oregon virtual #1000; 2022 Jacksonville #1022, Oregon #1035; 2023 Jacksonville #1041, Boston #1046, Orlando #1047, New York City #1048, Oregon #1057, Baton Rouge #1060; 2024 Atlanta BI #1071, Atlanta #1072, Jacksonville #1068, Baton Rouge #1076, South Florida #1080, Boston #1086; 2025 Atlanta AI & BI #1102, Jacksonville #1103, Baton Rouge #1110, South Florida #1116, Boston #1119, Houston #1120, Orlando #1122, Vitória #1129; 2026 Atlanta AI & BI #1127, Day of Data Baton Rouge #1141. Notable exclusions under the bar: Atlanta BI 2019 (38 sessions), Oslo 2019 (39), Redgate-era Denver, Pittsburgh, Minnesota and Belo Horizonte (all under 40 sessions). Data notes: the PASS XML feed strips '&' from titles/tracks (e.g. 'Application Database Development'); 'attendeeEstimate' in that feed is the organizer's pre-event estimate, not a headcount.
