Annual one-day, single-track English-language community PostgreSQL conference held in the Council Chamber on the CERN campus (Meyrin, near Geneva), co-organized by CERN and SwissPUG as a PostgreSQL Community Event; aimed at the French-speaking part of Switzerland (Suisse Romande). First edition January 2025. Distinct from Swiss PGDay (swiss-pgday), SwissPUG's two-day conference in Rapperswil each June: separate event, dates, venue and programme, sharing the organizing association. Registration and programme run on CERN Indico (one Indico event per year); per-year pages at swisspug.org/cern-pgday-<year>.html. No conference-specific social accounts; LinkedIn is the organizer's (SwissPUG).
