PGConf US 2016 is taking place in New York City from April 18th to April 20th at the New York Marriott Brooklyn Bridge. On April 18th, we are pleased to offer six training sessions as well as the Second Annual Regulated Industry Summit, and our usual program on April 19th and 20th.

Did you know that PostgreSQL turns 20 years old this year? We are celebrating by throwing an elephantine (in other words, a gigantic) birthday party for the community on April 19th. The birthday party will be open to the general public and we will have more details on the PGConf US website in the coming days. Come celebrate PostgreSQL turning 20 at PGConf US!

We are pleased to have Parag Goradia, Executive Director of Cloud Services Engineering at General Electric Digital as our keynote speaker at PGConf US 2016. Parag will be discussing how PostgreSQL is playing a crucial role in GE’s software strategy and is looking forward to sharing his story with the community.

And of course, we would not produce PGConf US 2016 without the awesome talks from our speakers. We had just shy of 140 submissions for 44 session slots and 6 and are delighted to present a group of speakers coming from all over the world and volunteering their time to talk about their experiences with PostgreSQL.

Some, but not all, highlights:

  • PostgreSQL deployments and strategies at enterprises such as MasterCard, Tencent, Capital One, Blackberry, MongoDB, the European Space Agency, InMobi, and more!
  • Want to see what the future of PostgreSQL holds? Come learn how PostgreSQL is developed and how it operates from Major Contributors and PostgreSQL hackers in our internals track.
  • Prefer Ruby and Java to SQL? Not a problem: our developer track has you covered so you can learn to take advantage of PostgreSQL’s robustness.

Want to attend? Our registration is open! Please visit http://www.pgconf.us/2016/tickets/ for registration information. Through February 29th 2016, we are offering a 10% discount on the Regular Admission to the global PostgreSQL community with the code PGDG

PGConf US 2016 is hosted by the United States PostgreSQL Association, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) created to support PostgreSQL in the United States through user group development, conferences, educational initiatives, and fun. There is no way we would be able to produce PGConf US 2016 without the generous support of our Platinum and Gold sponsors:
