Call For Proposals
PGConf.dev is an event for PostgreSQL hackers, ecosystem developers, and everyone who contributes to Postgres. We are focused on creating a fun and constructive environment for PostgreSQL contributors to meet, collaborate, and learn from each other.
PGConf.dev 2026 is still accepting proposals for Community Discussion Sessions and the Poster Session.
Community Discussion Sessions
Deadline: April 14th, 2026
Community discussion sessions are interactive sessions where you can discuss issues related to Postgres and the community in a meeting format.
These sessions will be scheduled for Tuesday and are a replacement for last year's interactive Tuesday content, including the Developer Meeting, the Community Summit, and the Extension Ecosystem Summit.
Community Discussion Sessions may concern any topic related to the Postgres community and Postgres ecosystem. While these sessions build on last year’s content, don't feel limited to previous topics. We’re eager to see new ideas that expand the conversation.
Their format should fall under one of the three following categories:
Working Groups
A small number of seats are reserved for invited members of the working group. The remaining slots are open to all conference attendees but seating will be organized to maximize collaboration amongst invited attendees. Please list invited participants in the body of your submission.
Example: Can the community support additional batch executors?
Closed Sessions
These sessions are for invited participants only and meant to create a focused, productive, and private discussion among those already involved in the topic. Please list invited participants in the body of your submission.
Example: Security committee discussing the impact of recent CVE
Submission Notes —
- Community discussion sessions do not confer complimentary registration.
- All invited attendees must be listed in the body of your proposal. Please secure invitees' consent prior to submitting your proposal. Organizers will do their best to avoid conflicts between meetings with overlapping key attendees.
- Proposals not accepted in round one automatically roll over, so early submission improves your chances.
- No Community Discussion Sessions will be recorded.
Poster Session
Expression of interest: April 14th, 2026 · Final PDF: April 30th, 2026
We are excited to host a poster session at PGConf.dev 2026 in Vancouver. The goal is to visually present your work and foster collaboration: attracting co-authors, reviewers, or simply improving discussion around patches, extensions, tools, and community initiatives.
Posters will be displayed on A1-sized boards (594 × 841 mm) during dedicated coffee + poster session breaks. We prioritize on-site presenters for prime locations, but remote authors are welcome—we can print, display and, in certain cases, mail your poster back.
Scope includes core patches, bug fixes, extensions, tools, research, and community initiatives (CI, testing, diversity). Commercial products are OK if they offer substantive technical content; closed source must be disclosed. Submissions that appear to be advertisements are unlikely to be accepted.
Your poster should include:
- A visual representation of your patch or project
- The PGConf.dev 2026 conference logo
- What attention or collaboration your project needs
- Contact details (e.g. QR code to patch/project, email)
Submission Notes —
- Accepted posters do not confer complimentary registration.
- Submit by email to express interest. Include your name, topic, and whether you plan to attend in person.
- Capacity is limited (20–30 posters).
