Join SQL Modernization Day on October 20, 2026, to explore Azure SQL migration, AI apps, and new modernization tools for customers.

Your clients’ SQL Server environments are poised for improvement, and SQL Modernization Day can be your perfect guide. Join the Microsoft SQL team for a complimentary half-day livestream event at Microsoft Reactor on Tuesday, October 20, 2026, from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM PT.

During this event, we’ll cover a variety of topics over eight engaging sessions, including:

• The comprehensive approach to modernization: learn how to transition SQL Server to Azure SQL, Azure SQL Managed Instance, Azure Virtual Machines, and SQL databases within Microsoft Fabric.

• Creating AI applications once your customers have made the leap to Azure.

• New capabilities of the SQL modernization agent, currently in public preview, designed to integrate with any platform supporting skills, starting with GitHub Copilot CLI and Visual Studio Code.

• Enhanced Azure Arc migration, also in public preview, allowing simultaneous migration of multiple instances to Azure SQL Database, Azure SQL Database Hyperscale, or Azure SQL Managed Instance.

With SQL Server 2016 officially out of support, now is the perfect time to inform your clients still using it about this valuable resource. Be sure to register and encourage your clients to join. If you’re unable to attend live, don’t worry; all sessions will be accessible on YouTube post-event.
