Upon further investigation, it emerged that several events were missing from the front page of postgresql.org. As of 4 September 2025, the following conferences are displayed in the "Upcoming Events" section:

There was a long discussion about this when the Recognized Community 
Conferences guidelines rolled out, and I can't quickly find the thread. 
The tl;dr is that we agreed to give preference to community conferences 
on the homepage, but still need to show at least 2 non-recognized events 
on the page, should more than zero exist. As a result, we also expanded 
the number of events listed on the homepage from 5 to 7.

Thanks,

Jonathan
