Developers' Summit 2026

Dear Illinois Prairie PUG members,

The Second Developers' Summit will take place on April 14 at our regular meetup time.

Same as last year, we invite Application developers to a conversation with Postgres DBAs, Database Architects, and Database developers. We want to hear about your challenges with using Postgres as your application backend and your ideas for improving this interaction.

To help us plan the details in advance, please fill out this Google Form. You can still attend the meetup even if you won't answer the questions, but filling out this form will help ensure the event runs smoothly.

We will start our summit by finalizing the list of discussion topics, and then we will break into discussion groups for about 45 minutes. Then we will have a short break and will listen to the short (5-10 min) discussion summary or presentation from each group. I hope we can learn something new together!

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, it is especially important that you fill in the RSVP form. Please do not put your initials there and do not leave it blank. Registration for all in-person events will close by 7-30 AM on 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.

At this time, we are not planning to have a Zoom version for this event because we will have several discussions simultaneously. Please RSVP to this event only if you plan to attend in person. We will record the final short presentations, and the recording will be available.

Hope to see you there!
