Postgres Meets Python!

Hello, and welcome to the first meetup of the Illinois Prairie PostgreSQL User Group!

On April 24, we will have a Q&A session with Jay Miller, a founder of Black Python Devs. This event is a part of the Prairie Postgres NFP effort to bridge the gap between Postgres and those who are using it. The Q&A session will start at 5 PM and will run for approximately one hour, with refreshments provided after the session.

For those coming from the Chicago PostgreSQL User group, please note that this is a one-off event. The event start and end times are earlier than usual due to limited venue availability and conflicts with other events scheduled for the same day. We will resume our regular hours (5:30 PM - 8:00 PM) in May.

Event location: DRW Training Center, 540 W. Madison, 25th floor.

A reminder about our venue:

- This is a high-security building, which means the names of all participants should be communicated no later than 7:30 AM on the day of the event, and all participants must present a government-issued ID to be admitted. If your meetup profile does not list your full name, please send a DM with the required information to me(Hettie). Registration for all in-person events will be closed by 7-30 AM the day of the event.
- The food order will be placed a day before the event, so I strongly encourage everybody planning to attend to RSVP at least a day before.
- If you are planning to attend virtually, please RSVP to the Zoom meetup here.

Please RSVP to this event only if you are attending in person.
