Notes
Planned for London (ExCeL) 31 Mar-4 Apr 2020; moved online because of COVID-19 and held virtually 29 Sep-3 Oct 2020 (history page). No in-person SQLBits in 2021 (a one-day online "SQLBits Replay" on 21 Apr 2021 is in the SQLBits conference database but is not recorded as an edition). Speakers: 247 approved sessions in the SQLBits session API for this edition (over the ~150 threshold), so only keynotes plus data/AI-platform sessions are recorded (106 sessions: Fabric, Synapse, Databricks/Spark, data lake/lakehouse, data engineering/integration, streaming, AI/ML, Python and similar, selected by session tags and titles). Affiliations are taken from the speaker bios currently on sqlbits.com (may reflect a later employer than at the time of the talk); null where the bio names no employer.
