The CERN PGDay builds on the experience of past PostgreSQL events at CERN and a newly establish collaboration with SwissPUG. It will create an opportunity for PostgreSQL users and enthusiasts to meet in the French-speaking part of Switzerland in order to network and exchange their experiences.
We plan to turn the CERN PGDay into an annual event under the umbrella of SwissPUG but in line with the international vocation of the area where many international organizations of the public and private sector are based.
The date for 2025 is January 17th, and the event will start at 10:00.
The final schedule will consist of a single track featuring six sessions in English only. We expect to publish the schedule early in December. The conference will be followed by a social event where people can discuss and network.
Have a look at your schedule before or after the event: you might be able to take advantage of the conference to visit cern !
