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.

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.

Last Chance for PowerShellSummit.org Registration

Here’s a sort of last call: Registration ends on March 1st, 2016, giving you just about ten days from today (Feb 18th). Additionally, we’ve got just around 24 seats remaining. About 5 of those are available as 3-day seats, and about 19 as 4-day seats. We’ll try and slide that availability around so you’re not forced into one or the other, but this is basically last call for attendees either way.

Planning for PowerShell+DevOps Global Summit 2017… Need Your Opinion

So, we’re already doing some planning for the 2017, 2018, and 2019 events. Because, you know. We do that around here ;). One thing we’re considering is an option to lock-in venue pricing for that three-year period, helping to ensure we can keep our pricing at around $950 for a 3-day event. Doing so requires a hotel room block lock-in as well. On the plus side, that’ll lock in hotel pricing for 3 years too, which is great in terms of affordability and predictability.
