PowerShell Summit

PowerShell + DevOps Global Summit Videos Online

The session recordings are now online! We did miss a few of the videos. The few 2-hour sessions scheduled in Room 406 were not recorded (and weren’t planned to be; we only have two sets of recording equipment, although for 2017 we’re adding a third set). And, we had a couple that had video problems on-site and weren’t recordable. We hope you’ll appreciate that our priority on-site is to provide a great experience for the people who were there, and stopping everything to make sure we get a recording isn’t always practical.

PowerShell Summit

PowerShellSummit.org Registration Status & Extension

So, we have 3 seats left, which isn’t much - and we contacted our venue, and they said they they’d let us bring in those people more last-minute (in terms of us setting food and space requirements), but there’s a small uncharge of $100 per person. So those last three seats are on sale at PowerShellSummit.org, through the morning of March 11th, and the new pricing should go into effect sometime tonight.
