PostgreSQL has a large and welcoming community, but for newcomers it is not always clear how to get started, stay connected, contribute, or know who to reach out to. Key parts of the ecosystem, such as the website, PostgreSQL Wiki, mailing lists, release cycles, community events, and supporting infrastructure, can be difficult to navigate at first.

The goal of this community event is to help organizers, speakers, and others learn to grow the community around them. We will discuss growing speakers, reaching out to other groups, gathering sponsors, and organizing events.
