PostgreSQL the Hardway & PostgreSQL 12: what is in the kitchen?

Hi all,

We are proud to present to you the first "PostgreSQL User Group NL" meeting of 2019 with a great line-up!

The PostgreSQL User Group NL intends to contribute to the promotion of the Open Source Relational Database PostgreSQL. We do this by organizing recurring meetings where we present and discuss technical PostgreSQL related content. This way we want to keep the sessions interesting for a large audience and especially technicians. Once again, we have found a number of interesting topics to increase your PostgreSQL knowledge while enjoying a drink. We look forward seeing you there.

Also in this meetup we offer the opportunity to participate in the Lightning Talks. If you have anything to share on the subject of PostgreSQL, please let us know and we are happy to give you the floor for 3 minutes.

This Meetup will be held at the office of Adyen. Food and drinks are for free. Many thanks to Adyen for their hospitality!!

Let’s meet and shake hands on March 14th.

Coen Hamers (Splendid Data)
Gerard Zuidweg (OptimaData)
Feike Steenbergen (Adyen)
