Waitlist
The conference is at this point sold out and we have activated waitlist management to ensure a fair allocation of seats made available from cancellations (if any) or unpaid invoices. If you are interested in attending, we urge you to sign up for the waitlist as soon as possible. Seats are offered to those registered on the waitlist on a first come first serve basis.
Once a seat is offered off the waitlist, it's valid for a limited time only. The offer must be claimed and paid for before the expiration time of the offer (usually 24 hours), so if you have signed up on the waitlist make sure to check your email regularly! Waitlist offers cannot be paid for via IBAN bank transfer due to the slowness of that system.
Community Supporter
The community supporter ticket is substantially more expensive, but gives no additional benefits over the general admission — except for a warm and fuzzy feeling. The purpose is to provide an option to anyone interested in giving a little extra to the community.
What's Included
- Access to all sessions during the conference
- An amazing hallway track
- Delicious lunch and plenty of coffee with snacks
- Good looking conference swag
- After hours social events
Registration fee
The registration fee depends on the type of registration. It must be paid in advance using one of the approved methods. Please verify that your payment has been received within one week of paying it (by checking the status on the registration form), and contact us if it hasn't.
Once your registration and payment have been confirmed, you will receive a confirmation email. The email is sent from contact@pgconf.eu so make sure to add it to your contacts list to avoid it reaching your spam folder.
You can pay using Credit Card (Mastercard, Visa, or American Express), PayPal or Trustly. If you have a company department making the payments, please see the section on paying somebody else's invoice.
VAT
PostgreSQL Europe is VAT registered in France since 2016. As the event is held in Milan, all registrations will include the Italian VAT of 22%. For further information about VAT on our invoices, please see the VAT FAQ.
Your Data
When registering for the conference, we will ask for personal information such as name and address, but also dietary requirements and t-shirt size. For information on how this data is stored and processed, see the PostgreSQL Europe Privacy Policy.
Invoices and receipts
When you have filled our your details in the registration form, an invoice will be automatically generated for you. An invoice is generated regardless of which payment method you choose. Once an invoice has been generated, it can no longer be changed, so make sure you validate that it has any required company information on it. If it is incorrect, you can cancel the invoice, change the details and generate a new one. Note that once an invoice has been paid, it can no longer be canceled or changed in any way.
Once your payment has completed, you will receive a PDF copy of your receipt using email, and it will also be available for download on the registration page. This normally only takes a few minutes after your payment has completed, but it is not sent until the process is complete so in particular with some slow payment methods such as bank transfer, there may be a significant delay.
Paying with bank transfer
The bank transfer payment option is no longer available now that the waitlist is active.
Training
On Tuesday, the day before the conference, we will also be providing half-day and full-day training sessions. These are in-depth sessions on a wide variety of PostgreSQL topics, and cost an extra training add-on on top of registration. The training add-on registration will be available once the training schedule is announced, see the training page for details.
Participants in the training sessions are entitled to a discounted rate for the rest of the conference, regardless of registration date. If training is added to an existing registration, the price of the training session itself is charged, and no price difference on the general ticket is refunded. Training must be pre-paid using one of the standard methods.
Training sessions can also be purchased separately from conference access, in which case only the cost of the training applies, and no additional fees. This gives no access to the general conference or any of the related events.
Cancellation
If you need to cancel your registration after you have paid, please contact us via email for manual handling. The refund we can offer depends on when you cancel so please cancel as soon as you know you won’t be able to make it to the event.
| Cancel on or before | Refund |
|---|---|
| September 16, 2019 | 100% |
| September 30, 2019 | 50% |
| October 7, 2019 | 25% |
Cancellations on or after October 8, 2019 cannot be refunded. All cancellations incur a €20 administration fee.
Transferring Registration
Registration is personal, and there is no facility for transferring it. We do however allow a registration to be transferred to another individual within the same organisation when there is a legitimate reason which prevents participation. The transfer carries an administrative charge of €20. Contact us for assistance with transferring an existing, and paid for, registration.
Registering for somebody else
Registering for somebody else is no longer possible now that the waitlist is active. Each attendee must make their own registration and pick up the waitlist offer. Once that is done, the functionality to pay somebody elses invoice is of course still available.
Paying somebody else's invoice
If you need to make a registration where somebody else (such as a company finance department) makes the payment, this is of course also possible. In this scenario, make sure that you follow this process:
- The person attending the conference makes and completes the registration form logged in using their personal account.
- Once the registration details are filled out, proceed to generate the invoice for the registration.
- Once the invoice is generated, there will be a field at the bottom of the invoice specification labeled External link. This link should be sent to the person paying the invoice.
- The person paying the invoice can then access the invoice using this link without logging in, and proceed to make the payment using credit card, PayPal, Trustly or IBAN bank transfer.
- If the invoice is to be paid with IBAN bank transfer only, it is also possible to just forward the invoice in PDF format to the person making the payment. Any other payment methods require the link to be used.
Buying vouchers for others
Finally, you can also buy a set of vouchers to be given to others. In this case you buy a fixed number of tickets, and receive codes that can be used for free registration using them. Vouchers can only be used for main conference access (no training, though training can be independently added to the ticket later), and no refund is provided for unused vouchers. Vouchers are subject to availability, and offer no protection from the waitlist.
If you are interested in purchasing vouchers, please contact us for instructions on how to proceed.
