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](https://prairiepostgres.org/) 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:

Registration for all in-person events will be closed by 7-30 AM the day of the event.
