PGConf.EU 2017 Call for Papers and Sponsors

Posted on 2017-06-07 by PostgreSQL Europe

PostgreSQL Conference Europe 2017 will be held on October 24-27 in the Warsaw Marriott Hotel, in Warsaw, Poland. It will cover topics for PostgreSQL users, developers and contributors, as well as decision and policy makers. For more information about the conference, please see the website.

If you are interested in our sponsorship opportunities, please see the end of this announcement.

We are now accepting proposals for talks in English.

Each session will last 45 minutes, and may be on any topic related to PostgreSQL. Suggested topic areas include:

  • Developing applications for PostgreSQL
  • Administering large scale PostgreSQL installations
  • Case studies and/or success stories of PostgreSQL deployments
  • PostgreSQL tools and utilities
  • PostgreSQL hacking
  • Community & user groups
  • Tuning the server
  • Migrating from other systems
  • Scaling/replication
  • Benchmarking & hardware
  • PostgreSQL related products

Of course, we're happy to receive proposals for talks on other PostgreSQL related topics as well.

We may also have a limited number of longer, 90-minute, slots available. Please indicate clearly in your submission if you wish to make a 90-minute talk.

Finally, there will be a session of five minute lightning talks. A separate call for proposals will be made for them further on.

The submission deadline is August 7th. Selected speakers will be notified before August 22nd, 2017.

Please submit your proposals by going to the submission system and following the instructions there.

The proposals will be considered by committee who will produce a schedule to be published nearer the conference date.

All selected speakers will get free entry to the conference (excluding training sessions). We do not in general cover travel and accommodations for speakers, but may be able to do so in limited cases. If you require assistance with funding to be able to attend, please make a note of this in the submission notes field.

We have also opened our Call for Sponsors. We offer a wide range of sponsorship opportunities, ranging from a low cost Bronze level which is a great way to show your support for the community, to the Platinum level which is limited to three sponsors (so act fast if you are interested!).

We look forward to hearing from you, and seeing you in Warsaw in October!
