About

Postgres Open is in its second year, with the aim of bringing enterprise users, application developers and core PostgreSQL developers together.

Postgres Open is a non–profit, community–run conference series in the United States focused on business users, database professionals and developers of PostgreSQL, the open source database. Our inaugural conference was September 14-16, 2011 at the Westin Michigan Ave in Chicago, IL.

We target entrepreneurs, technologists and decision–makers on the leading edge of data management, open source database innovation and disruption of the database industry. Postgres Open promotes the business of PostgreSQL as well as its use and development.
