Welcome to PostgreSQL Europe, the "umbrella group" for PostgreSQL User Groups in Europe and for users in regions that don't have a local user group. Our goal is to promote the use of PostgreSQL in Europe. We do this primarily by assisting local user groups to promote the product locally through conferences and other advocacy, as well as running European-wide conferences and other activities.
After a long discussion, we have made the painful decision to cancel PostgreSQL Conference Europe 2020.
During the past weeks attendees, speakers, sponsors and volunteers have contacted us and asked if the conference will take place, expressing their concerns regarding the ongoing COVID-19 situation.

It is with heavy hearts that we have to announce that both Nordic PGDay 2020 (Helsinki, March 24th) and pgDay Paris 2020 (Paris, March 26th) have been canceled.

There are no plans to postpone these events; we are instead focusing on returning next year, bigger and better than ever!
We will contact all attendees and sponsors within a few …
