They are both PostgreSQL Conferences. PgCon is run by community member
Dan Langille and is a for profit venture. It is tied to the BSDCon that
he also runs. Although I have not gone, I have heard good things about
it. It is held in Canada.
PostgreSQL Conference is a community conference, run entirely by
community members of which I am one of the organizers. 100% of the
proceeds are 501c3 donations given to the PostgreSQL affiliated
non-profit Software in the Public Interest. It is being held in College
Park, Maryland.
