The PostgreSQL Conference Germany 2023 is over and it was a success. We had 250 attendees which made this year’s edition of the conference the largest ever. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For us the conference already started Monday evening with the speakers and volunteers social event and dinner. We had a great tour through the Zeche Zollverein<\/a> and learned a lot about German mining history:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The day of the conference was tough. Because there was a bomb from the second world war to be deactivated our meeting with the venue was cancelled on Monday. There really was a chance that PostgreSQL Conference Germany 2023 had to be cancelled because of that. Luckily the deactivation went well and we could prepare for the attendees starting 07:00 in the morning:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

From there on it went as usual, everybody knew what to do. Here are some impressions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The catering of HDT<\/a> was good, here’s what was coming as breakfast right after registration:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We had great content<\/a>, we had great speakers, we had great sponsors<\/a> and great network opportunities. All in all, it was a perfect day for the PostgreSQL community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After one conference is before the next one. Currently we are traveling from Essen (Germany) to Rapperswil (Switzerland) for the Swiss PGDay 2023<\/a>. Quite some people are in the same train:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See you tomorrow in Rapperswil. Spread the love for PostgreSQL.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
