Pavlo Golub is hosting this month’s PGSQL Phriday. The topic is “PostgreSQL Events”.
While I did speak at many PostgreSQL events in the past and will speak in the future, I would like to use this opportunity to shine some light at the sheer amount of events we have in the community.
Sure, there was a short break for a few months, because you know what happened. At the same time I started interviewing members of the community (and I need to restart this process). One of the questions I ask is:
Which PostgreSQL conferences do you visit? Do you submit talks?
While summarizing all Meetups into one result, I still get 33 PostgreSQL conferences mentioned across all interviews!
The conferences mentioned most are:
- PGConf.EU (78 times)
- PGCon (52 times) - now renamed to PGConf.dev
- PGConf.NYC & PostgresOpen (33 times)
- FOSDEM & FOSDEM PGDay (32 times)
- pgDay.Paris (25 times)
- Meetups (23 times) - please reach out if you want to start a Meetup
- Nordic PGDay (14 times)
- PG Day France (14 times)
- PGConf.Russia (13 times)
- PGConf.DE (12 times)
There are quite a few more conferences on the list, both community recognized conferences as well as conferences organized by companies.
By now, in 2023, we are back at the old problem: in some months we have multiple good conferences, and it’s hard to decide where to go and where to submit a talk. But in my opinion that’s a good choice to have!
