- Notes
- First PGConf.Asia since 2021, in Hong Kong, co-hosted by HKPGUG (Hong Kong PostgreSQL User Group, launched at the opening) with HKCOTA as co-organizing community and Open Source Hong Kong as supporting community; live translation by Rozeta AI. A Bisnis.com article (Sep 2026) calls the conference dormant since 2019, i.e. it does not count the 2020-21 joint online editions with PostgresConf.CN, which pgconf.asia itself lists. Speakers: full preliminary schedule (2 days, up to 3 parallel rooms) from the pgconf.asia schedule API; speaker names, companies, abstracts and slide links from the site's public accepted-proposal records (event-year profiles); co-speakers listed with the organization given on the proposal. Rows follow schedule order. Sponsor tiers from the public sponsor list; each company recorded once at its main tier (Tencent Cloud is also Social Event Sponsor; Highgo Software also Exclusive Lanyard & Badge Sponsor). Sponsorship packages: Platinum USD 10,000, Gold 5,000, Silver 2,500, Bronze 1,000.
