Nearly 2 years on from when Dan and I decided to go all in with Cloud Formations it’s with an immense amount of pride to be able to share that this year, at SQLBits 2025 (18th to 21st June at the ExCeL in London), we will be exhibiting as Gold sponsors. Accompanied by the amazing team of people that have also joined us on the journey at Cloud Formations.

SQLBits is an event that has always been close to my heart as I’ve moved through the ranks; firstly as an attendee, then helper (wearing the famous bright orange t-shirts), then speaker, pre-conference training day presenter, and now sponsor. The pride and the passion here coupled with a very large dose of humility. I feel very lucky to be in this position.

What’s more, we are marking our first appearance as an exhibitor at SQLBits with the release of version 25.1 of CF.Cumulus, our flagship metadata driven Lakehouse accelerator.
