FOSDEM PGDay 2025 - dates announced and call for papers open

FOSDEM PGDay 2025 is a one-day conference that will be held ahead of the main FOSDEM event in Brussels, Belgium, on Friday, January 31st, 2025. This will be a PostgreSQL-focused event with a single track of talks. This conference day will be for-charge with a registration of EUR 70, and will be held at the Brussels Marriott Hotel. Registration is required to attend and since we have a limited number of seats available for this event, we urge everybody to register as soon as possible once open.

PostgreSQL Europe will also have our regular devroom at the main FOSDEM event on Sunday morning (February 2, 2025). This time we have a half day devroom, with 4 talks in total. This event will, of course, continue to be free of charge and open to all FOSDEM attendees. No registration is required to attend the devroom.

For full details about the conference, venue and hotel, see the [event website](https://2025.fosdempgday.org).

The call for papers is now open for both FOSDEM PGDay and our devroom. We are looking for talks to fill both these days with content for both insiders and new users. The [CfP page on our website](https://2025.fosdempgday.org/callforpapers/) has all the details including a link to submit talk or FOSDEM PGDay 2025.

Please note that submissions for the FOSDEM devroom must be submitted in the FOSDEM system and not the PostgreSQL Europe system! For submissions to the FOSDEM devroom, please use [this link](https://pretalx.fosdem.org/fosdem-2025/cfp).

If you plan to submit to both the PGDay on Friday and the Devroom on Sunday, you must submit your talk twice, once in each system. Unfortunately, we haven’t found a way to keep the talk submissions synchronised.

The deadline for submissions is midnight Central European Time, November 29th, 2024, so get your submissions in soon! We will aim to notify speakers if their talks were selected or not by December 6th.

We also have a special negotiated room rate with the Brussels Marriott Hotel. For details, see the [venue page](https://2025.fosdempgday.org/venue/).

We hope to see you in Brussels!
