With more than 200 events submitted and approximately 80 slots to be filled, this has been the most difficult schedule to arrange in the history of PostgresConf. By far, the majority of content received we wanted to include in the schedule. It is that level of community support that we work so hard to achieve and we are thankful to the community for supporting PostgresConf. There is no doubt that the number one hurdle the community must overcome is effective access to education on Postgres. The US 2018 event achieves this with two full days of training and three full days of breakout sessions, including the Regulated Industry Summit and Greenplum Summit.
For your enjoyment and education here is our almost granite schedule!
See something you like? Then it is time to buy those tickets!
This event would not be possible without the continued support from the community and our ecosystem partners:
- Diamond: Amazon Web Services, Pivotal
- Platinum: IBM, 2ndQuadrant, Microsoft, and OpenSCG
- Our growing list of Sponsors/Partners

PostgresConf US 2018 is in 9 days. Here is the obligatory "Buy your tickets" reminder! If you look around (a Google search of Gold sponsor Google Cloud is a good place to start) you will find a lot of discount codes.
In 2017 we launched a community wide effort to better recognize contributors for not only the conference but the wider Postgres Community. We continued this effort in 2018 and are pleased to have many speaker profiles available, with more being published every day:
- Les McMonagle
- Malcolm McLean
- Elizabeth Zalman
- Hubert Zhang of Pivotal
- Baron Schwartz
- Jignesh Shah
- Tim Gorman
- Tom Limoncelli
As one of the Chairs of PostgresConf, I am honored by the resounding support from sponsors, speakers, and volunteers to help create a fantastic event for all attendees. It has been a pleasure working toward the common goal of creating a global, non-profit, Postgres Conference series.
The following table contains a summary profit and loss statement for PostgresConf US 2018.
In review of these numbers two things will probably jump out at you:
- Venue and F&B of 238,000.12
- Net Revenue of 202,201.62
Yes, we spent almost 250,000.00 dollars on the venue and food and beverage. In fact, the Food and Beverage alone was over 135,000.00 dollars.
We were fortunate to have very strong ticket sales as well as partner support through Sponsorships. This support will allow us to not only meet our financial requirements for PostgresConf Silicon Valley 2018 but will help us make our financial requirements for our European, Chinese, and US conferences in 2019. We are also hoping to set aside more money for our popular diversity and professional development initiatives.
The Chairs would like to thank all our organizers, volunteers, partners and attendees for helping us continue advocacy of People, Postgres, Data!
