Updated Summit Pre-Arrival InfoDump

We sent out a big email blast to everyone this morning (noon Eastern time), and if you didn’t get it it’s because (probably) your corporate email is block-block-blocking us. You’re welcome to sign up a personal email address at http://eepurl.com/cEcNlT, if you’d like. We’ll also continue to post communications in the #summit-events channel in the Slack team. A PDF of this morning’s email is here, although this’ll be the last one we post publicly.

As I write this, we’ve sold out. Here’s what happens next: We need to finish reconciling our speaker slots and PowerShell team seats, which will take about a week. That may result in a free seat or two, which we will place on sale. Watch @PSHSummit on Twitter for that announcement. A WAITLIST IS AVAILABLE ON THE REGISTRATION PAGE. Sign up if you’d like first notice of released inventory and a 24h window to claim a seat

Just log into EventBrite (if someone else registered you, they’ll need to do this) and change the attendee information. Voila!

2018 Community Lightning Demos

Rambling Last year’s PowerShell + Devops Global Summit was a roller coaster. On one hand, I spoke for the first time - it was terrifying. Getting up in front of a local user group had helped, but it’s not quite the same as a room full of PowerShell-ers, including MVPs and PowerShell team members - eek! On the other hand, I was lucky enough to host the Community Lightning Demos. We managed to give 22 folks the chance to get up in front of the PowerShell community and give a quick, low-pressure ~10 minute demo.
