SQLAdria is a non-profit organisation founded by users of relational databases in Croatia and Slovenia. The goal of the organisation is to encourage the flow of information, through continual professional training of users themselves, by creating topics and seminars based on their needs, development and application of new software solutions.
WHY JOIN US?
1. We have tradition
• 2014 was the 20th anniversary of SQLAdria. What began as a local user group turned into an organisation with a growing number of members every year. SQLAdria seminar in Dubrovnik and Šibenik became an international event with two parallel events: z/OS and LUW track.
• Special events for DB2 users are organised as a part of the seminar. They are directed towards vendor solutions for DB2, as well as towards news and announcements organised by seminar sponsors.
2. Great speakers
On SQLAdria seminars we have renowned experts from all over the world, most of who have distinguished accolades such as IBM Distinguished Engineer, IBM Gold Consultant and IBM Champion.
• Thomas Beavin, Curt Cotner, Namik Hrle, Melanie Stopfer, Daniel Luksetich, Cristian Molaro, Željen Stanić, Cristian Molaro, Susan Lawson, Klaas Brant, Andy Ward, Kurt Struyf, Phil Grainger …..
3. Values

4. Registration fee
• Company members have a right for five free registration fees for every seminar organised by SQLAdria
5. Travel and accommodation fees
• Our participants get special offers for travel and accommodation.
6. Informal
• The chance of discussing topics with speakers during breaks gives an added value to every business day spent in a relaxed environment. This way, you don't have to wait in line for hours to get the answers you were looking for.
7. More interaction
• Number of participants on SQLAdria seminars is limited. That enables a better interaction during lectures and workshops and allows for more Q&A time.
8. Exchange of ideas and experiences
• Like in every other seminar, participants will be able to exchange their experiences with colleagues, CA experts, as well as IBM and other independent gurus, on the topic of relational databases.
9. Venue
• Ljubljana is beautiful in March; Šibenik is spectacular in May, as well as Zagreb in September and Opatija in November.
• Hotels are among the best in the area, and sponsors give their contribution by enabling relaxed socializing in breaks with additional activities. If the seminar lasts for more than a day, it becomes that much more interesting, since our sponsors often host interesting networking events.
