PGConf.dev 2026

Join the official conference Discord server to chat with other attendees, find a group for lunch or the run, and keep up with announcements during the week.

The conference is held at the SFU Vancouver Harbour Centre campus, between Hastings Street and Cordova Street in downtown Vancouver. Registration is on the main concourse, just inside the main entrance on Hastings Street.

Opening day, with keynotes and the first day of conference sessions.

Newcomer Welcome Breakfast

New to the Postgres community? Meet other newcomers and experienced members at 07:30 in the Xerox Room (1500). No sign-up required.

Group Social Run

Stay in shape while exploring Stanley Park, one of the largest urban parks in the world. The group meets at 17:30 at 712 Lost Lagoon Path; pace and distance are chosen to suit whoever turns up.

Meet & Eat

Have dinner with a small group of fellow Postgres community members. Sign-up is required in advance; on the day, meet your group leader at 17:00 in the concourse by Registration, then walk together to the restaurant. Dinner is self-pay.

Conference sessions, alongside the start of the in-person commitfest in Xerox (Room 1500).

Social Reception

The Gala Reception is held at 18:00 at Rogue Kitchen and Wet Bar, just across the street from the venue. Expect reception-style food, two drinks from the bar, and good conversation. The reception is included in your conference registration, so please bring your badge.

Karaoke

Unwind and loosen those vocal cords at a Postgres karaoke session, from 22:00 to midnight at Switch Vancouver, 1339 Robson Street.

Another day of conference sessions, with the in-person commitfest continuing in Xerox (Room 1500).

Poster Session

Over lunch, browse posters showcasing PostgreSQL-related projects, research, and community work. The physical posters are on display at the venue; the same posters are also available online.

Meet & Eat

A second round of small-group dinners, organized the same way as on Tuesday.

The conference closes with the unconference — an attendee-driven day of discussions, with the schedule built collaboratively from topics proposed by attendees.

Dinner is over, and you still want to mix it up with other Postgres people? Head to the Butcher & Bullock Pub, at 911 West Pender Street, any night of the week. It's the easy answer to the question, “where should we meet up?”
