Announcing PGConf US 2015: Mar 25 - 27, NYC - Call for Presentations Open

Posted on 2014-10-10 by NYCPUG

The United States PostgreSQL Association announces that PGConf US 2015 will be held from March 25 to March 27, 2015 at the New York Marriott Downtown in New York City.

Please visit http://www.pgconf.us for more information about PGConf US 2015.

Thanks to the support of our attendees, speakers, volunteers, and sponsors, PGConf NYC 2014 was the largest PostgreSQL conference ever in the United States, with 259 attendees representing 140 different companies from 5 continents gathering in New York last year. With the support of the United States PostgreSQL Association, we have renamed the conference to PGConf US to reflect the growth and excitement around PostgreSQL in the United States and to help build a stronger community.

PGConf US 2015 will feature the familiar two-day conference format on March 26 - 27 with a mix of specialized sessions, keynotes, and the ability to connect with PostgreSQL fans at various receptions throughout the day. As with past PostgreSQL conferences in NYC, we will feature presentations from the perspective of developers, DBAs, systems administrators, business-intelligence analysts, and decisions makers.

We have added on an additional day to the conference on March 25 for hosting trainings and summits. Trainings will occur at the conference venue and the training schedule will be announced in the near future. We are also launching the "First Annual Regulated Industry Summit: Finance, Government, Healthcare, and PostgreSQL" hosted at the Goldman Sachs headquarters across from the PGConf US 2015 venue, which will bring together PostgreSQL contributors and enterprise developers to discuss challenges and solutions in utilizing PostgreSQL in regulated environments. For more information about the summit and how to attend, please visit http://www.pgconf.us/2015/training/

And with that, the call for presentations is now open! For more information, please visit http://www.pgconf.us/2015/submit/

Presentation submissions will be allowed until December 17th, 2014. All speakers will be confirmed by January 10, 2015, when we will announce the schedule. As with our past conferences, there will be no extensions of the submission deadline, so we suggest you get your submissions in early!

PGConf US 2015 would not be possible without the generous support of our sponsors, which allows us to continue to produce a high-quality event while keeping registraiton fees low to encourage growing our community. We extend a very warm thank you to our launch sponsors:
