PGDay Lowlands and DBA Day 2024

Some great news: there's a new European PostgreSQL event in the Netherlands taking place in Amsterdam in September: PGDay Lowlands 2024!

It is a community organised event and according to the About page: "PGDay Lowlands is a unique chance for European PostgreSQL users and developers to catch up, learn, build relationships, get to know each other and consolidate a real network of professionals that use and work with PostgreSQL" and "The conference covers a wide range of topics, as we expect talks ranging from internals discussions led by leading developers to end-user case-studies from small companies as well as large multinational corporations and government organisations, all who run their businesses on PostgreSQL."

Importantly for us community-minded folk: "…and let's not forget the all important hallway track full of caffeine infused discussions with interesting peers from the community, that will most likely spill over into local restaurants and pubs after the event finishes."

The Call for Papers is open until July 9, 2024 at 23:59:59 (millisecond accuracy not enforced) — I'd love to see more talks by/about developers using PostgreSQL, and more crazy use cases!

Also, registrations for PGDay Lowlands have opened today, with discount code Vroege Vogel for Early Bird tickets (Yes, it means "early bird" in Dutch)!

In somewhat related news, today is also Database Administrator Appreciation Day a.k.a. DBA Day! It's an annual event happening on the first Friday of July every year, and an opportunity to acknowledge the hard work that DBAs put in keeping most important computer systems in the world running.
