This year for the first time, PostgresOpen has committed to providing an environmentally friendly conference experience, involving an organized approach to integrating sustainable materials and processes throughout the conference. Our goal is to introduce small, manageable changes working our way to more effective permanent changes to how our conference is managed; through these actions, we intend to contribute in a meaningful way towards a greener and more sustainable future.

More information regarding our initiatives and commitments to providing an environmentally friendly conference experience will be made available soon on our website.

We look forward to celebrating our 8th conference year with everyone in Orlando!
