CERN PGDay 2026: Announcement and CfP

After a successful first edition in 2025, **CERN PGDay** returns in 2026 as a regular gathering for PostgreSQL users and enthusiasts in Suisse Romande (western Switzerland). Co-organized by CERN and SwissPUG, the event offers a chance to connect, share ideas, and exchange experiences in the vibrant Geneva region — home to many international organizations across the public, private, and scientific sectors.

The 2026 edition will take place on **Friday, February 6th**, starting at 10:00. The programme features a single track of six sessions, all held in English, followed by a social event to continue discussions and networking in the inspiring setting of CERN. We expect to publish the schedule mid December.

The [_Call for Papers_](https://indico.cern.ch/event/1504097/abstracts) is open until 7 December 2025. We are keen to get your proposals.

[_Registration_](https://indico.cern.ch/event/1504097/registrations) is already possible and closes on _1 February 2026_. Have a look at your schedule before or after the event: you might be able to take advantage of the conference to visit CERN!
