About PGConf.EU 2026

PostgreSQL Conference Europe is by far the largest PostgreSQL conference in Europe.

Over a decade of PostgreSQL

This year’s edition marks the 16th annual PostgreSQL Conference Europe, and this time we’re heading to Valencia, Spain. The conference is organized by PostgreSQL Europe, with involvement from most PostgreSQL user groups across Europe, and serves as a key meeting and collaboration point for users both inside and outside Europe.

PGConf.EU is a unique opportunity for European PostgreSQL users and developers to catch up, learn, build relationships, get to know one another, and strengthen a genuine network of professionals who use and work with PostgreSQL.

The event moves between major European cities each year, making it as easy as possible for as many people as possible to attend.

Great content from start to finish

The conference covers a wide range of topics, with talks expected to range from deep technical discussions led by leading developers to case studies from small companies, large multinationals, and government organizations, all running their operations on PostgreSQL.

The conference will feature multiple parallel tracks covering different technical levels, so there’s always something interesting for everyone.

…and let’s not forget the all-important hallway track: caffeine-fueled discussions with interesting people from the community. We also organize social events after the official program hours, where the hallway conversations carry on well into the night.

Community Events Day

Last year, a separate day dedicated to various (local or specific) community initiatives was introduced for the first time. It was a great success, so once again, following the main conference, Friday October 23 will be a full day of Community Events.

Topics include:

Autonomous Postgres: From Scripts to Self-Driving Database
PG Outreach Unconference
Open Alliance for PostgreSQL Education Meetup
New PostgreSQL Community Members – Summit
Storytelling for Technical Communication
A Postgres Ecosystem Foundation?
PostgreSQL on Kubernetes Summit
Organizing and Growing Community Events
