On behalf of the Postgres Open organizing committee, I’m pleased to share this announcement: <\/p>\n

\nPostgres Open 2011<\/a>, a conference for data innovators focused on disruption of the database industry through PostgreSQL<\/a>, will take place September 14-16, 2011 at Chicago’s Westin Michigan Avenue hotel.<\/p>\n

“PostgreSQL\u2019s consistent addition of new features and enhancements, while remaining focused on reliability and performance, has provided myYearbook a solid foundation to create new and innovative applications,\u201d said Gavin Roy, CTO at myYearbook. \u201cWe are looking forward to the Postgres Open Conference as a venue to share, network, and learn innovative ways to leverage Postgres in our environment.”<\/p>\n

Postgres Open, a community-organized, non-profit conference, addresses the breadth of PostgreSQL usage, from core database system design to enterprise database use. Inviting entrepreneurs and technologists on the leading edge of data management, the conference will focus on open source database innovation and changes in the database market. Postgres Open includes regular talks, keynotes and hands-on tutorials.<\/p>\n

We’re pleased to announce that VMWare<\/a> and EnterpriseDB<\/a> are joining the conference as founding sponsors.<\/p>\n

The theme of the inaugural conference is \u201cdisruption of the database industry\u201d. Topics will include new features in the latest version of PostgreSQL, use cases, product offerings and important announcements. Invited talks and presentations will cover many of the innovations in version 9.1, such as nearest-neighbor indexing, serializable snapshot isolation, and transaction-controlled synchronous replication. Vendors will also be announcing and demonstrating new products and services to enhance and extend PostgreSQL.<\/p>\n

Postgres Open 2011’s main program (September 15-16) will be preceded by a day of intensive, half-day tutorials.<\/p>\n

The Call For Papers for Postgres Open will open in late May.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\nJosh Berkus, Core Team member,
