My SQL Saturday Story..
• Been to code camps but never attended
  SQL Saturday
• Wanted to put West Virginia on the SQL
  Server Map.
• Wanted to test the waters to see if we
  could build a user group.




                            Session Code | Session Title   3
Tips from previous SQL Saturday’s
• Find a very cheap facility for your event.
• Form a team of at least two people to
  organize the event.
• Team up with other organizations
• Provide nametags
• Don’t be a presenter if you are hosting an
  event.
• Make sure you attend a session.

                               Session Code | Session Title   4
If you build it they will come..
• Target cities within three hour driving
  distance.
• Focus marketing on SQL User Groups, .NET
  User Groups, AITP and other IT groups.
• Target local companies IT staffs.
• Blog, tweet and hit the message boards
• Try to provide a unique experience for
  people traveling to your event.

                              Session Code | Session Title   5
How do I build my budget?
Budget = Money Raised – Money Spent

Use Microsoft UGSS to help fund your event.

Include local headhunters, training companies
and economic development groups in
potential sponsors list.
