Percona, a leader in enterprise-grade open source database software and services, will host the latest in its annual Percona Live conference series in Denver at the Marriott Tech Center from May 22-24, 2023. Percona Live is the longest-running independent open source database conference, covering a range of database and data management topics including cloud-native deployments, performance improvements, and real-world experience from some of the world’s largest database deployments.

The event will provide three days of hands-on tutorials, breakout sessions, keynote addresses, networking, and socializing with some of the world’s most experienced database professionals.
