There was a 15 minute break between the two sessions with refreshment being provided by us.

The entire session was held at Microsoft campus in Chennai. We are thankful to our MVP lead Abhishek Kant for providing us the conference room(capacity 20) at Microsoft. Unfortunately, we were not allowed to take any photographs within the campus. There are some formalities so we are planning to discuss it with our MVP lead and get it fulfilled before the next user group meeting.

We are planning to conduct such User group meeting once a month, preferably in the 3rd Saturday of every month. People who are interested can join us, please visit http://sqlpass.org/ and register (free membership) at PASS. While registering please select the associated user group name as Chennai SQL Server user group.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who made it to the meeting. A special thanks to Jacob Sebastian, who encouraged us to start this User group.

We took a group photo just outside the Microsoft Office in Chennai after completing our session.
