Notes
Dungeons & Dragons theme. Pricing page lists a virtual option, so format recorded as hybrid. Speakers: 323 approved sessions in the SQLBits session API for this edition (over the ~150 threshold), so only keynotes plus data/AI-platform sessions are recorded (103 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.
