About
PGConf.Asia 2026 will be held in Hong Kong from November 17-18, 2026. This page will disclose the teams, policies, privacy information, and financial governance for the conference.
What is PGConf.Asia?
PGConf.Asia is a regional PostgreSQL community conference that brings together users, developers, contributors, companies, and local communities from across Asia. The conference exists to share PostgreSQL knowledge, support open source collaboration, and give the Asian PostgreSQL community a focused place to meet.
Since the first edition in Japan in 2016, PGConf.Asia has been hosted in Japan, Indonesia, and China, serving as an important platform for technical exchange and regional community collaboration across Asia.
In 2026, PGConf.Asia returns to Hong Kong — marking a renewed chapter for the Asia PostgreSQL community. As PostgreSQL celebrates thirty years as a global open-source project, PGConf.Asia 2026 aims to reconnect communities across the region, highlight real-world PostgreSQL adoption, and help build a stronger foundation for future collaboration in Asia.

Privacy
This site is hosted on GreenGeeks shared hosting. The hosting provider may retain server access logs (IP address, request path, timestamp, user agent) for security, debugging, and operational purposes. PGConf.Asia does not control or access those logs directly.
User accounts and authentication are handled by Supabase (supabase.com). When you sign in, your session token is stored in your browser's local storage on your device. Supabase's privacy policy applies to the storage and processing of your authentication data.
Supabase is used only for account management, authentication, CFP submissions and reviews, speaker profiles, sponsor administration, and sponsor logo storage. Static conference pages, analytics events, and server logs are not stored in Supabase.
Social sign-in is provided via Google, GitHub, Facebook, and WeChat. When you choose one of these providers, you are redirected to their authentication service. Each provider's own privacy policy governs what data they collect during that process. PGConf.Asia receives only the basic profile information you authorise — typically your name and email address — to identify your account.
If you sign in with a magic link, your email address is stored in Supabase to identify your account. We do not use it for marketing without your explicit consent.
This site does not use tracking pixels, advertising cookies, or third-party analytics. No personal data is shared with advertisers.
CFP and sponsor workflows store only the fields needed to run those workflows. Registration and volunteer systems may use separate services in the future; if so, their privacy terms will be linked from the relevant submission page.
To request deletion of your account or any personal data held by PGConf.Asia, contact the organising committee at contact@pgconf.asia.
Financial Disclosure
Financial records will be made available to the PostgreSQL Core Team or their nominated representative upon request. Any financial statements shared with the Core Team will not be distributed to third parties without written permission from the event organisers, except where required by law.
Any surplus from the conference will support PostgreSQL community activities — either through a recognised PostgreSQL nonprofit organisation, reinvestment in future PGConf.Asia events, or other PostgreSQL-related community work that can be validated by the PostgreSQL Core Team.
Organizers and volunteers receive no remuneration for committee service unless a specific reimbursement or travel-support policy is published for the conference.
