The conference continues the work of past editions, offering a premier opportunity for PostgreSQL professionals to network, share practical experiences, and explore the future of the world's most advanced open-source database. Geneva's international environment—home to major scientific institutions, non-governmental organizations, and financial and tech enterprises—provides a distinctive backdrop for the single-track schedule.
For developers, CERN PGDay 2027 represents a focused, community-driven venue to present production war stories, extension work, performance tuning techniques, and operational lessons directly to peers. A single-track format with 6–7 sessions keeps the program tight and highly relevant, while the post-conference social event encourages the informal conversations that often yield collaborations, hiring leads, and upstream contributions. With the CfP open, now is the time to draft a talk proposal and secure a slot at one of Europe's notable PostgreSQL events.
