In this world of all things digital where so many of us are online so much of the time—what with architecting, coding, QA'ing, blogging, and slacking—it's kind of refreshing to step away from our devices and talk to other humans face-to-face at an event.

You can browse the full set of talks that were given and slides for them on the PGConf EU website or flip through the presentations from members of the Citus team below.
