PGConf India 2017 - Sponsorship opportunities

Hello All,

PGConf India, 2017will be held in Bengaluru India on March 2nd
(Tutorials/Trainings) followed by the main conference on March 3rd, 2017.

This conference is part of our effort to grow the PostgreSQL community by
increasing awareness and providing the appropriate training and resources
to further PostgreSQL adoption

Our 2016 conference saw more then 150+ participants having representation
from 45+ organizations. This year we expect a much larger gathering (200+)
of fellow PostgreSQL users and some of the best developers in India and
abroad to attend the conference. This year we have decided to do trainings
and have two parallel tracks for the main conference, which means more
interesting topics to choose from.

This year we are lining up some great community leaders as speakers for the
conference.

Simon Riggs (CTO @ 2ndQuadrant and Developer/Committer at PostgreSQL
Community) would be delivering the Key Note for this year’s conference

Robert Haas (VP, Chief Data Architect @ EnterpriseDB) has accepted our
invitation to speak at the conference.

Talk submissions have exceeded our expectations and already more than
doubled from previous year.

Full schedule for the conference would be updated by next week.

*Sponsorship Opportunity*

We currently have 2ndQuadrant and Taashee Linux Services as our Platinum
sponsors and EnterpriseDB as our Gold and Video sponsor.

We would like to invite other Organizations who work on PostgreSQL to
support the conference and help spread awareness about PostgreSQL in India.

*Why Bengalore, India?*

Bangalore is known as the Silicon Valley of India and the IT Capital of
India. It is considered to be a global information technology hub and
largest software exports from India are done through Bangalore. Bangalore
alone consists of more than 35% of all the IT companies present in India
and contains close to 5000 companies, making it the largest IT contributor
in India.

India will remain the world's fastest growing information technology (IT)
market and is expected to have spent more than $72 billion on IT services,
products and hardware, up from 7.2% from the previous year, according to
research firm Gartner. The Indian software export industry is about $110
billion. It employs around 4.25 million people. Of the 10 top software
service companies globally ranked by market cap, five are Indian.

Thanks,
Organising Committee
