Why I’m Excited for POSETTE 2024: An Event for Postgres

I’m happy to share that I’ll be speaking at POSETTE: An Event for Postgres from June 11-13, 2024! 🚀 It’s a huge honor to be chosen to speak at this awesome event, and I’m thrilled to be part of such an amazing lineup of speakers.

About My Talk

My talk, “What Makes Azure Database for PostgreSQL Great for Developers?“, is something I’m particularly excited about. I’ll cover key features like integrating essential extensions such as pgvector and PostGIS, and simplifying deployments for Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server. It’s all about making cloud development smoother and more efficient for developers.

Why POSETTE?

POSETTE is a virtual event, making it super convenient to join from anywhere. If tight schedules or budgets keep you from traveling, no worries—POSETTE lets you participate effortlessly. Plus, you can catch all the sessions later on YouTube at your preferred speed. Excited? Check the conference schedule and dive deep into PostgreSQL talks from the comfort of your desk!

The Joy of Being a Speaker

Being a speaker is a great honor. Since I started in 2017 at PG Conf India, I’ve spoken at many conferences, sharing my passion for postgres technology and helping the community grow. The adrenaline rush of public speaking and the opportunity to connect with like-minded professionals is incredibly rewarding. Public speaking isn’t something you’re just born with; it’s a skill you can develop.

A Call to Future Speakers

For all you PostgreSQL enthusiasts and aspiring speakers out there, consider sharing your knowledge at a future conference. Speaking at tech conferences is an incredible way to give back to the community and grow professionally. If you’re interested, I highly recommend checking out Claire Giordano‘s insightful post, Why Give a Conference Talk (or, Why Give a Postgres Talk). Claire’s collection of insights is a goldmine for anyone looking to take the plunge and share their expertise.

I’m Varun. I used to be a Software Engineer building data applications for large corporations like McKinsey and Target. Now, I’m a Product Manager at Microsoft, making Azure PostgreSQL the go-to platform for running mission-critical workloads (and no, I’m not obsessing over every little detail… I swear). When I’m not working, you can find me blogging at data-nerd.blog, where I help fellow data enthusiasts master PostgreSQL, sharpen their coding skills, and navigate their careers with confidence. And if there’s one thing you absolutely need to know about me, it’s that…I'm apparently a great cook—just don’t ask why I’m the only one who eats my food.
