Heading to PgCon 2019

Postgresql Conferences

I’m heading to PgCon 2019, this will be my first time attending a PostgreSQL specific conference. A lot of the work that I do involves PostgreSQL in some way, be it as a developer, architecting database solutions, or digging into application performance issues.

I’ve been to a number of Toronto PostgreSQL User Group meetings and through discussions with others at the meeting, this is the conference to go to for technical information. I have opted to attend the Unconference which takes place the day before the talks start. It sounds like an interesting concept where the content of the day is determined by the attendees.

The formal schedule includes a number of talks that I’m really interested in and topics cover a wide range of interests.

Perl Conferences Talks
DC-Baltimore Perl Workshop has come to a close and the organizers should be proud of what they accomplished. The comment was made at the after conference dinner that they make it looks easy when really we all know it’s not. I spent a lot of the hallway track talking to different people about technologies that weren’t perl but shared amongst us all, and a lot of time talking to @genehack. Getting out and talking geek was my intention for this conference and for that to me made it successful.

Perl Conferences
Today I’m heading to the DC-Baltimore Perl Workshop. This conference has been on my list of wanting to go to for years. With DC-Baltimore hosting TPC two years ago, they didn’t have the workshop and then skipped last year but as soon as I heard they were hosting it again this year I jumped to attend. Unfortunately some of my friends that would normally make this event aren’t going to make it this year but I will catch up with them at TPC in Pittsburgh.
