Event partners with SQLBits: Where data, belonging and bold ideas come together

We’re excited to event partner with SQLBits – bringing together shared values, a shared purpose, and a collective commitment to building fully inclusive conferences for data professionals.

Belonging, access & community

There’s something powerful that happens when shared values meet shared purpose – and that’s exactly why we’re excited to announce our event partnership with SQLBits.

At Women in Data®, we know that truly great event experiences are built on more than content alone. They’re built on belonging, access, and community. That’s why partnering with SQLBits feels like such a natural fit. Together, we’re committed to creating conferences where data professionals don’t just attend – they participate, connect, and thrive.

To celebrate this partnership, our community can access an exclusive discount and free Saturday access on 25th April to one of the most talked-about data conferences in the industry. If you’re looking for real-world insight into how modern data platforms are built, run, and scaled – this is an opportunity not to miss.

About the conference

SQLBits takes place from 22–25 April 2026 at the ICC Wales and brings together 2,000+ data professionals across 4 immersive days. With 200 world-class speakers, 300+ hours of expert-led content covering everything from SQL Server to AI to Fabric, and some of the best networking you’ll find anywhere in the data ecosystem. The conference is designed for exceptional learning that sticks, professional growth and conversations that matter.

This year’s conference theme is Cartoon, inspired by iconic studios and characters from around the world, this all adds creativity, colour, and a sense of play to a seriously strong technical programme.

Who comes to SQLBits?

SQLBits welcomes a rich and diverse mix of data practitioners from across the industry, including: Data Engineers & Database Administrators, Data Analysts, Modellers & Architects, Consultants & App Developers, Data Scientists & Business Analysts, CDOs, CTOs, CIOs and many more.

The conference will give you access to the world’s foremost experts to dive into the real-world challenges you’re facing in your role.

The content you’ll take back to work

Sessions are selected and delivered by industry experts. Content ranges from 20-minute talks to full-day workshops, all grounded in real-world challenges facing today’s data teams.

SQLBits is highly interactive by design. You’ll have the chance to ask questions, work through practical issues, and leave with actionable insights and solutions you can apply immediately back in the office.

Inclusivity is high on the agenda

Inclusivity isn’t an afterthought at SQLBits – it’s embedded throughout the entire event experience. There’s a deep commitment to creating environments that are welcoming, safe, and accessible, so everyone can fully participate and belong.

  • On-site counsellor – this has been a well-received resource for a few years now, enabling much-needed support for anyone who might be having a tough time at work or find conference environments a bit overwhelming
  • Access & facilities: A mix of single-sex, unisex, and accessible bathrooms across the ICC
  • Safe & respectful environment: Everyone is welcome regardless of background, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, gender, or nationality
  • Catering & dietary needs: Dietary requirements captured during registration

  • Prayer room: A multifaith prayer room available during conference opening hours
  • Quiet spaces: Dedicated quiet areas throughout the ICC, plus woodland Ponder Pods nearby for calm and reflection
  • Catering for all tastes – this year we’re adding a cold wrap station for those delegates who find they don’t fit the ‘hot bowl food at set hours’
