Of course there’s a code of conduct too. To make things easy for speakers, we’ll take care of the video recording and production, both for the livestream and on-demand talks. Talks are 25 minutes long and must be in English.
Live Sessions & On-Demand Videos
There will be 2 unique livestreams + on-demand talks too. We’d love to consider your talk proposal(s) about Postgres and/or Citus—whether you’re a first-time speaker or a regular at conferences. We're looking for talks from Citus open source users, Azure database customers, & Postgres and Citus experts from Microsoft, and Postgres community members.
On-demand talks will be pre-recorded and published online on April 18th.
