2023.pgconf.eu – recap

This year’s edition of PostgreSQL Conference Europe finished last Friday, the 15th of December. It was the largest ever PostgreSQL Conference Europe with more than 700 attendees. For me the week already started on Monday, because I had to be there the day before the conference for the training day. With 25 people the training was completely sold out and it was an intense day for me, because our trainings come with a lot of exercises and supporting quite a few people with what they had never done before can be challenging. In the end, I believe everybody was happy and I made quite a few new PostgreSQL friends.

After three days full of talks, the speakers and volunteers dinner on Tuesday, the social event of the conference on Wednesday, and the Swiss PostgreSQL User Group dinner on Thursday, Friday evening marked the end of the event. See you next year:
