Call for Papers - PostgreSQL Conference Europe 2016

Posted on 2016-05-18 by PostgreSQL Europe

PostgreSQL Conference Europe 2016 will be held on November 1-4 in the Radisson Blu Hotel Olümpia, in Tallin, Estonia. It will cover topics for PostgreSQL users, developers and contributors, as well as decision and policy makers. For more information about the conference, please see the website at http://2016.pgconf.eu/.

We are now accepting proposals for talks in English.

Each session will last 45 minutes, and may be on any topic related to PostgreSQL. Suggested topic areas include:

  • Developing applications for PostgreSQL
  • Administering large scale PostgreSQL installations
  • Case studies and/or success stories of PostgreSQL deployments
  • PostgreSQL tools and utilities
  • PostgreSQL hacking
  • Community & user groups
  • Tuning the server
  • Migrating from other systems
  • Scaling/replication
  • Benchmarking & hardware
  • PostgreSQL related products

Of course, we're happy to receive proposals for talks on other PostgreSQL related topics as well.

We may also have a limited number of longer, 90-minute, slots available. Please indicate clearly in your submission if you wish to make a 90-minute talk.

Finally, there will be a session of five minute lightning talks. A separate call for proposals will be made for them further on.

The submission deadline is August 7th. Selected speakers will be notified before August 24th, 2016.

Please submit your proposals by going to http://2016.pgconf.eu/callforpapers/ and following the instructions there.

The proposals will be considered by committee who will produce a schedule to be published nearer the conference date.

All selected speakers will get free entry to the conference (excluding training sessions). We do not in general cover travel and accommodations for speakers, but may be able to do that in limited cases. If you require assistance with funding to be able to attend, please make a note of this in the submission notes field.

We are also looking for sponsors. PostgreSQL Conference Europe is a perfect opportunity for companies to reach out to users and developers of PostgreSQL, or to just give back to the community. Our sponsorship program covers a wide range of levels, from entry level to big scale. More informations on http://2016.pgconf.eu/becomesponsor/.

We look forward to hearing from you, and seeing you in Tallin in November!
