Nordic PGDay 2027 is a community-run, one-day PostgreSQL conference for the Nordic countries, with registration handled through the PostgreSQL Europe event system. It is intended for database administrators, developers, data engineers and anyone who works with PostgreSQL, the open-source relational database, in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Iceland and further afield. The 2027 edition is held on 16 March at the Courtyard Stockholm Kungsholmen hotel in Stockholm, Sweden. Nordic PGDay rotates between Nordic capitals from year to year, giving local users a regular chance to meet without travelling to the larger European PostgreSQL conferences. Its programme is shaped through an open call for papers, which typically brings in talks from both PostgreSQL contributors and organisations running the database at scale. Over the course of the day, attendees can follow technical presentations on administration, performance, development and the wider PostgreSQL ecosystem, and use the breaks to speak with speakers, sponsors and other users facing similar challenges. A published code of conduct applies to all participants. As the PostgreSQL conference in Stockholm 2027, Nordic PGDay helps sustain a regional community of practitioners around one of the most widely used open-source databases.
Nordic PGDay 2027 takes place March 16, 2027 in Stockholm, Sweden.
Nordic PGDay 2027 is an in-person event.

Nordic PGDay gathers the region's PostgreSQL community in Stockholm for a single day in mid-March, when Scandinavian light is returning fast after the long winter and the days have already stretched past twelve hours. The city is built across fourteen islands, so almost every walk between venues involves water and a bridge. Expect lingering cold and possibly ice, offset by the clearest light of the year.
Arlanda (ARN) is the main airport, 40 km north, with the Arlanda Express reaching Stockholm Central in about 20 minutes and commuter trains taking longer for less. Bromma (BMA) is closer for some domestic and short-haul routes, and Skavsta (NYO) is roughly 100 km away with coach connections. The SL network of metro, bus and commuter rail covers the city, paid by contactless card or app.

Sweden is close to cashless, and card payment is expected almost everywhere including small kiosks. Mobile data is essential for tickets and payment apps, so arrange an eSIM before arrival rather than relying on hotel Wi-Fi. Set up an eSIM with Airalo before you board and you're online the moment you land.
Vasa Museum. A seventeenth-century warship that sank on her maiden voyage, raised almost intact in 1961 and displayed over several levels in a purpose-built hall on Djurgarden. Nothing else of the period survives at this scale. Two hours, and it is the one Stockholm museum worth prioritising over everything else. Tickets on Tiqets →
Gamla Stan. The old town occupies its own island, a dense grid of medieval lanes and ochre facades around the Royal Palace and Stortorget square. March keeps the crowds thin enough to walk it properly. An hour or two on foot, and the narrow streets are sheltered from the wind off the water.
Fotografiska. A photography museum in a converted customs house on the Sodermalm waterfront, running large temporary exhibitions rather than a permanent collection. It opens late, which makes it a workable evening plan after a conference day. Around ninety minutes, and the top-floor cafe looks back across the harbour. Tickets on Tiqets →
Stockholm City Hall. The brick tower on Kungsholmen where the Nobel banquet is held, visitable by guided tour through the Blue Hall and the gold-mosaic Golden Hall. Tours run in English several times daily and cannot be joined independently. About an hour, with tower access limited to the warmer months.
Can I pay with cash in Stockholm?
Often not. Sweden is largely cashless and many venues accept only cards or mobile payment, so bring a card that works internationally.
How do I get in from Arlanda?
The Arlanda Express reaches Stockholm Central in about 20 minutes. Commuter trains and airport coaches are cheaper but take roughly twice as long.
What is the weather like in mid-March?
Still cold, hovering around or below freezing, with daylight lengthening quickly. Expect ice underfoot on shaded pavements and pack accordingly.
