Great community events have the power to bring people together, foster innovation, and strengthen the PostgreSQL ecosystem. Drawing from the experience of organizing M-PUG (Malmö PostgreSQL User Group) meetups and contributing to PostgreSQL conferences, this talk will provide a comprehensive guide to planning events that resonate with attendees. From selecting the right topics to crafting engaging formats, we’ll explore the key elements of creating memorable experiences that build lasting connections within the community.
Attendees will gain practical insights into event logistics, including choosing venues, leveraging technology, and engaging diverse speakers to ensure inclusive and dynamic discussions. We’ll also discuss how to measure success, from tracking attendance to gathering valuable feedback and maintaining momentum post-event. Whether you’re starting a new user group, planning a regional meetup, or looking to revitalize your existing events, this session will equip you with actionable strategies to make your PostgreSQL events impactful.
