SBBD is the official database event of the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC). It is the largest venue in Latin America for presenting and discussing research results in the database domain. In its 29th edition, the symposium will be held in Curitiba, the capital of the Parana State, on October 6th-9th, 2014.

This year SBBD is organized by two academic institutions: Informatics Department of the Federal University of Parana and the Politechnic School of the Catholic University of Parana.

SBBD brings together researchers, students and practitioners, from Brazil and abroad, to discuss problems related to the main topics in modern database technologies. SBBD usually gathers around 500 attendees. Past editions of SBBD have been organized in cooperation with ACM/SIGMOD and partially sponsored by the VLDB Endownment. Along with technical sessions, the symposium also includes invited talks and tutorials given by distinguished speakers from the international research community. SBBD also promotes a Thesis Workshop, a Demos Session and a Poster Session as co-located events. This year SBBD is co-located with the Brazilian Symposium on Collaborative Systems (SBSC) creating an environment for exchanging experiences between these related areas.
