Community Supporter

Community supporter tickets include the same access and benefits as standard tickets. The higher price lets you contribute extra towards the event and support the PostgreSQL community.

FOSDEM

Registration is required for FOSDEM PGDay. No registration is required to attend the main FOSDEM event on January 30th-31st.

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@fosdempgday.org 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 IBAN bank transfer. If you have a company department making the payments, please see the section on paying somebody else's invoice. If you plan to register many attendees to be paid for by the same person, please see the section on registering for somebody else.

Tickets

Upon successful registration, you will be issued a PDF ticket which you need to bring to the event either printed or on a device of your choice. Present the ticket at the registration desk for your badge and access to the event.

Visa invitation letters

If you need an invitation letter to support your visa application, please see our visa invitation letter instructions. A valid and paid registration is required. Once a letter has been issued, your registration is non-refundable.

Invoices and receipts

When you have filled out 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 cancelled or changed in any way.

Once your payment has completed, you will receive a PDF copy of your receipt by 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.

Your Data

When registering for the conference, we may 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.

Paying with bank transfer

We recommend paying online by credit card or PayPal for faster confirmation. Bank transfers take longer and may be disabled when the event is close to selling out or the waiting list is active.

  • Use the bank details and payment reference supplied during payment. Enter the reference exactly as shown; do not substitute the invoice number.
  • Send the exact invoiced amount in euros, without rounding.
  • Allow enough time for the payment to arrive by the invoice deadline. Initiating a transfer on that date may be too late. Late payments may leave your registration unconfirmed.

VAT

PostgreSQL Europe is VAT registered in France since 2016. As the event is held in Brussels, all registrations will include VAT. For further information about VAT on our invoices, please see the VAT FAQ.

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
2026-12-31 100%
2027-01-14 50%
2027-01-21 25%

Cancellations on or after 2027-01-22, as well as any for which a visa invitation letter has been provided, cannot be refunded. All cancellations incur a EUR 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 EUR 20. Contact us for assistance with transferring an existing, and paid for, registration.

Registering for somebody else

If you want to make a registration for somebody else (one or more people, such as registering a group of people from the same company), you can use the "register for somebody else" functionality. You will find the link in the registration area, once you have logged in with your personal account. Fill out the individual registration forms for each of the persons you want to register, and then generate a shared invoice for all of them. Note that this shared invoice must be paid under the same terms as any other invoice, using the same payment methods and deadlines.

If the attendee being registered already has a community account in the system, the registration will be automatically attached to that account. The account is matched by comparing the email address. If they do not have an account, they will receive an email with instructions for how to create one and attach the registration, should they wish (account creation is not mandatory, but it is recommended in order to be able to access all features).

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:

  1. The person attending the conference makes and completes the registration form logged in using their personal account.
  2. Once the registration details are filled out, proceed to generate the invoice for the registration.
  3. Once the invoice is generated, there will be a field at the bottom of the invoice specification labelled External link. This link should be sent to the person paying the invoice.
  4. 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 or IBAN bank transfer.
