Swiss PostgreSQL Users Group

CERN PGDay brings together PostgreSQL users and enthusiasts from across Suisse Romande and beyond for a day of talks, ideas, and exchange at CERN. Co-organized by CERN and SwissPUG, it’s a great opportunity to connect with the community and experience the unique atmosphere of CERN.

After a successful first edition in 2025, CERN PGDay returns in 2026 as a regular gathering for PostgreSQL users and enthusiasts in Suisse Romande (western Switzerland). Co-organized by CERN and SwissPUG, the event offers a chance to connect, share ideas, and exchange experiences in the vibrant Geneva region — home to many international organisations across the public, private, and scientific sectors.

The 2026 edition will take place on Friday, February 6th, starting at 10:00. The programme features a single track of six sessions, all held in English, followed by a social event to continue discussions and networking in the inspiring setting of CERN. We expect to publish the schedule mid December.

The Call for Papers is open until 7 December 2025. We are keen to get your proposals.

Registration is already possible and closes on 1 February 2026. Have a look at your schedule before or after the event: you might be able to take advantage of the conference to visit CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research!

Don't forget to register in Indico at CERN if you plan to attend. Registration is not done through MeetUp.
