Request for Topics

Putting on an event like the PowerShell and DevOps Global Summit involves a lot of planning. We started the planning process for the 2017 Summit BEFORE the 2016 Summit started!

We have to work so far in advance that we’re taking guesses at the topics that will be of high interest next April – remember that we fix the agenda 6 months before the actual Summit.

Part of the process of creating the agenda is that we publish a ‘Call for Proposals’ where we ask potential speakers to submit session proposals. We then use those proposals as the basis of the agenda. Session proposals can be taken as they are or we may suggest changes to the speaker to ensure a more cohesive agenda.
