PgDay has already been absorbed into OSCON, LWE, LFNW as well as things
like PgDay.FR , etc... PgCon is used fairly liberally as well outside
the inner circle. Such as PgCON EU, PgCON.br. There is even a rumor of
an international PgCon.JP in 2009.

It seems the the terms are not a brand individually but more a collage
of a brand around PostgreSQL itself.
