Topics for PowerShell Summit 2018

The planning for Summit 2018 has started – to be honest it started before Summit 2017 opened. We’ve reached the stage where we need to start thinking about the broad topics for PowerShell Summit 2018.
What do you want to hear about? Not the session titles, content and speakers but the broad areas of content you want us to include. We can’t actually promise to cover everything requested because we’re dependent on whats submitted when we open our call for topics towards the end of the month.
Looking at the agenda for Summit 2017 we had these very broad groups
PowerShell tool making
DSC and DSC resources
PowerShell Github repository
PowerShell v6
Remoting
Testing - Pester
Azure
PowerShell Functions
JEA
PowerShell v6
PowerShell on Linux
PowerShell modules
Regular Expessions
MSDeploy
PKI
Powershell Jobs, Workflows and runspaces
Nano server
PowerShell cmdlets - compiled and script
Are there any we should drop? Is there a topic we should include – this far out we can commission a specific expert speaker to cover a topic if required. This is your opportunity to help shape Summit 2018. Let us know what you think

Summit 2017–seats going fast

Seats a the PowerShell Summit -  https://eventloom.com/event/home/summit2017 – are going fast.
We’ve sold over 70% of the seats – they’re current 55 seats left split between 4-day and 3-day passes. The 3-day passes don’t go on sale until 12 February and we’ll be moving 3-day to 4-day as sales happen between now and then. We have a number of sales in the pipeline that will reduce the number of available seats as well.
We are at maximum capacity for the venue – and probably for the event in its present format.
We are expecting a rapid sell off of the remaining seats when open registration of 3-day passes. We don’t maintain any sort of waiting list and when the seats are gone – they’re gone.
If you are thinking of attending the 2017 Summit I’d advise you to get your seat booked quickly – I wouldn’t be at all surprised if we’d sold out by the end of February.

Community Lightning Demos

We are continually evolving the content we present at the PowerShell Summit. This year we’re bringing back something that was a feature of the early PowerShell Deep Dives and Summits - the Community Lightning Demos. We have a session set aside on Wednesday afternoon for this. Timescales will depend on the number of people wanting to show something.
In the words of PowerShell MVP Warren Frame who’s organising this for us:
