At the PowerShell and DevOps Global Summit, this after-dark bar session blends casual conversation with a real sense of why the event matters. Brian Quinn talks about returning for his second Summit, filling in PowerShell fundamentals, and bringing back practical skills like remoting, advanced functions, modules, testing, and version control to improve how his team handles identity and access management.

Scott Lemonde reflects on what keeps drawing him back, not just the technical knowledge, but the community, the friendships, and the way Summit gives people confidence, perspective, and momentum in their careers. Across both conversations, the theme is clear: PowerShell is not just a tool, it is a shared journey of growth, automation, problem-solving, and finding your people in a field that can otherwise feel pretty isolating.
