I attended my first Data Saturday, this past Saturday — Data Saturday #28 – Atlanta, GA. Data Saturdays are the successor to SQL Saturdays and this was the first one of those in Atlanta since the pandemic shutdowns of 2020.

Being the first event since the pandemic shutdowns, it was a smaller event than the mega events of the past, but that didn’t hinder its quality. The event was held at the Atlanta Station Microsoft office — my first time visiting this office (prior events were held at the Microsoft office in Alpharetta).

I appreciate the hard work of the organizers, volunteers, sponsors, and speakers and thank you for putting on a great event!
