You can't judge a conference unless you have experienced it, so your
opinion that "it is not a decent conference" has no substance and thus
is irrelevant.
Comparing advanced features between an open-source project and its
commercial competitors makes as much sense as comparing licensing
costs. It all depends on your requirements.

There is nothing new and exciting about PostgreSQL. In now has parallel query,
which has been available with Oracle since the early 90's, with DB2 since
mid-90's and with SQL Server since SQL Server 2005. And that's the great news.
The other open source databases are much more promising. PostgreSQL is very
much behind things like MariaDB technologically. Attending this conference is
probably a waste of time. Going through the following would probably be a far
better use of your time:
