PGConf.Asia is the largest regional conference for the PostgreSQL open source database in Asia, organised by the PostgreSQL community to connect users, developers and contributors across the region. It welcomes database administrators, backend engineers and companies building on Postgres, as well as the core contributors who develop the database itself. The 2026 edition takes place in Hong Kong on 17 and 18 November, with English as the conference language. It is framed around the theme of reconnecting Asia to shape the next thirty years of PostgreSQL, marking the project's thirtieth anniversary as a global open source effort. The programme combines invited speakers from the international PostgreSQL community with talks selected through a public call for papers, covering topics such as performance, replication, extensions, operations and real-world deployments. Attendees gain practical knowledge for running PostgreSQL in production and direct access to experienced community members from Asia and beyond. This PostgreSQL conference in Hong Kong strengthens the links between regional user groups and the wider Postgres project at a milestone moment in its history.

PGCONF.ASIA is held over two days in mid-November at InnoCentre in Kowloon Tong, a design and technology hub north of the harbour rather than on Hong Kong Island. November is the reward month here: the summer humidity has finally dropped, typhoon season is over, and daytime temperatures settle into the low twenties. The venue sits directly above an interchange station, which makes reaching it from almost anywhere in the territory straightforward.
Hong Kong International Airport (HKG) is on Lantau Island. The Airport Express reaches Kowloon in about twenty minutes and Hong Kong station in twenty-four, with free shuttle buses onward to major hotels. From Kowloon station, the MTR continues to Kowloon Tong in a few stops. An Octopus card or a contactless bank card works across the MTR, buses, trams and the Star Ferry.
Skip the taxi queue — pre-book a fixed-price airport transfer with Kiwitaxi. Exploring beyond the city? compare rental cars on EconomyBookings.

Hong Kong has some of the densest mobile coverage anywhere, including inside MTR tunnels and cross-harbour crossings. An eSIM arranged in advance means you step off the Airport Express already connected, which matters when nearly everything here runs through a QR code or an app. Set up an eSIM with Airalo before you board and you're online the moment you land.
Star Ferry, Tsim Sha Tsui to Central. The cheapest great view in the city, crossing Victoria Harbour in under ten minutes on boats that have run the route for over a century. Ride it after dark for the illuminated skyline. Sit on the lower deck for the better waterline perspective.
Victoria Peak and the Peak Tram. The restored funicular climbs steeply to the island's high ground and the view back across the harbour. Go on a clear November afternoon and stay for dusk. Queues are long at peak times, so aim for a weekday and budget two to three hours in total. Tickets on Klook →
Tai Kwun, Central. The former Central Police Station and Victoria Prison, converted into a heritage and contemporary art complex. Free to enter, with the prison yard and cell blocks preserved alongside gallery spaces. Two hours is comfortable, and it pairs well with the Sheung Wan streets nearby.
Temple Street Night Market. A short MTR ride from Kowloon Tong down to Jordan or Yau Ma Tei. Stalls, fortune tellers and dai pai dong seafood cooking, busiest from about eight in the evening. Go hungry, carry some cash, and treat listed prices as a starting position.
How do I reach Kowloon Tong from the airport?
Take the Airport Express to Kowloon station, then transfer to the MTR for the short run to Kowloon Tong. The whole journey is usually well under an hour.
What is the weather like in November?
One of the best months of the year: dry, sunny and generally 20 to 25 degrees Celsius, with low humidity. A light layer is enough for the evenings.
Do I need cash?
Cards and mobile payments are widely accepted, but an Octopus card is still the smoothest way to pay for transport, and street markets and small stalls often prefer cash.
