SBBD is the official database event of the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC). It is the largest venue in Latin America for presentation and discussion of research results in the database domain. In its 25th edition, the symposium will be held in the city of Belo Horizonte, in the state of Minas Gerais, on October 5-8, 2010. 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 nearly 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, a Poster Session and several workshops co-organized with other co-located events.

This year SBBD is co-located with the Brazilian symposia on multimedia systems and the web, collaborative systems, and human computer interaction.
