My teen, recently:

"So, all these database conferences you go to. They're basically just a load of people talking about their special interest, aren't they?"

PG Day France crosses borders and invites you to Mons, Belgium, June 3 and 4, for hands-on workshops to deepen your PostgreSQL skills, expert talks, and a hallway track to engage with the community.

We can give away 2 tickets to people underrepresented in tech. Please send us an email at diversity@postgresql.eu until Monday May 26 detailing your motivation to attend - we hope to support you!

PG Day France

Conférence de la communauté PostgreSQL les 3-4 juin à Mons (Belgique)

@jpargudo J'ai hâte !

Hats off to the @pgconfdev team! I can't believe how many different things they've managed to organise, how many members of the community are involved, and how difficult it's going to be to decide which things I have to miss out on when I choose which sessions to attend!

I'll be co-hosting a Postgres Women breakfast with @shaysler giving a talk about the PostgresSQL Europe Diversity Task Force @PostgreSQLEuropeDiversity

See you there!
