We’re returning to ICC Wales for #SQLBits2026; here are 5 things we think you’ll love:
✨ A complete venue takeover
🌳 Gorgeous woodland surroundings
🥘 Delicious, locally sourced Welsh food.
🏨 Over 1,000 nearby hotel rooms to choose from.
🏰 So much to do before & after

Which version of English is that one?
All too often we get English (American) as our default, which adds in a few other nationalities.
(When will I be able to select English - Geordie, that's the one I know best)

Do you support non UK addresses yet?
Last time i notified an address change, it couldn't be processed, not much good for changing address or renewal

For some British people loosing 50 pounds has two meanings, either an expensive piece of paper or a unit of measure the Europeans prefer the British don't use any more
I'm happier to lose the second than the first

While hype and tech options change, the key principles remain the same, and always important trends to follow
The prep is starting for the biggest event of the year, Hogmanay
