The PGDay Chicago 2025 schedule is live and we’re really excited about it, but the best news is that there’s still a chance for YOU to be on stage!
We've reserved a slot for lightning talks because we know how much everyone loves them. We also know how nerve-wracking it can be to sign up on the day and not know until the last minute whether or not you’ll be speaking, so we decided to launch a separate lightning talk CFP. Whether you’re a seasoned speaker or you’ve never been up on stage before, and whatever your Postgres use-case, we want to hear from you!
Submissions (max 2 per speaker, talk to be no longer than 5 minutes) should be sent by email to lightning@pgdaychicago.org.
The subject of your email should be your name followed by the title of the talk (e.g. “Slonik: What Elephants do for Fun”). The body of the email should contain a very short description of your talk (max 50 words)
Send your lightning talk proposals in as soon as possible; we will make selections and notify selected speakers as they come in. You can, however, submit your lightning talk right up until the day of the conference in case slots are still available.
