PowerShell Summit… EUROPE?!?!?

I have received a lot of interest in a PowerShell Summit Europe, and we are starting to look at doing one in 2014. I know that’s a long way off, but it takes time to put these together when everyone’s volunteering that time! I have put together a very short survey to see if there is any consensus on where such an event might be held. The survey is online now and ready for your opinions.

PowerShell Summit Videos

Aaron Hoover, one of our Summit attendees, was kind enough to record via webcam the sessions he attended - and he’s posted about 13 hours of video on YouTube for your viewing pleasure. What I’d like to know from you, if you don’t mind dropping a comment below, is what you think of these. If we offered this KIND of recording in the future, would it be helpful? This is something we can do easily and is affordable from a technical perspective; there’s obviously a production quality compromise.

Recording the PowerShell Summit

So, we did have one enterprising fella use his Webcam to record the Summit sessions he attended. Once he gets with me, we’ll get those online so you can see. We are trying to think really hard about formal recordings for next time. It depends a lot on what folks want. For example: Pointing a camera at the front of the room is easy and cheap. We worry that the audio might suck and that you might not be able to read on-screen code - although many presenters make their code/slides available for download.

We’ll be updating this post as presenters turn over materials to us. Most of these files will be ZIPs. If there are any session materials missing - please be patient (we’re uploading as quickly as we can), or contact the presenter directly (as they may not have provided materials to us yet).

[UPDATED] PowerShell Summit 2013 Conference Schedule

If you are attending the PowerShell Summit next week in Redmond, you might want to make sure you have copies of the schedule on hand. There are two tracks, and I have created two pdf documents, one for each track, that provide the full schedule including session abstracts and speaker bios. PowerShell Summit 2013 Conference Schedule - Track 1 PowerShell Summit 2013 Conference Schedule - Track 2 While those details are very useful, some of the conference attendees have expressed an interest in having a consolidated view of the agenda so that they could see which sessions were taking place on each of the tracks and choose which they were more interested in.

[UPDATED] Last-Minute Summit Info and Changes

Please make sure you’re following this announcements category as you travel to, and attend, the Summit. It’s the best way for us to get out late-breaking news. Registration begins at 8am on Monday, April 22nd, in the lobby of Building 40. Now, sometimes the lobby doors open a wee bit late - so bear with us. The first sessions aren’t until 9am, so there’s plenty of time. Please bring a printout of your ticket from EventBrite, and a photo ID.

Pre-Summit Hang

If you’re attending the Summit and are arriving Sunday afternoon, drop by the Azteca restaurant on 148th. I’ll be there with some of the Board from 5pm, in the bar. It’s informal, pay-your-own-way, and a chance just to say hi before we kick off on Monday. Safe journey!

PowerShell Summit 2014 Planning Continues

In an effort to keep folks as fully informed as possible, I’ll periodically share information about the Summit for next year. In this update, I want to explain how we’re hoping to address some of the issues (all good ones, actually) that we’ve experienced with the 2013 event. First, the 2013 event sold out fast. We have a fire code limit of about 100 people and we hit it quickly - and our wait list ballooned to almost as many people.
