It was a pleasure to host SQL Server 2016 community launch event for the full day. We had a great support from both speakers and attendees. It was an occasion of learning for everyone where attendees learnt about SQL Server 2016 features and speakers learnt about the various SQL Server solutions from the attendees. The whole intent of this event was to make attendees aware of the new and enhanced capabilities of SQL Server 2016.
