PSHSummit

Schedule publishes on November 1. First Dive pricing won't last that long. #PSHSummit runs at break-even with no paid staff, no expo hall, and no premium tier. The price only moves one direction. $1,299 today:

Room block is open: $179/night at the Sheraton Orlando Lake Buena Vista, in the same building as the sessions, with a discounted resort fee and parking. Rooms at that rate are limited: www.powershellsummit.org/hotel #PSHSummit

#PSHSummit isn't only PowerShell. Sessions span cloud and Azure, AWS, infrastructure as code, CI/CD, configuration management, Docker and Kubernetes, edge, security, and AI in operations. The deep end, four days:

The whole number for anyone who needs approval: $1,299 ticket, plus $772 for four nights in the room block at $179/night with the resort fee. $2,071 at published rates, before lodging tax and airfare. Breakfast and lunch included daily. www.powershellsummit.org/tickets #PSHSummit

One seat, four days, and every keynote, general session, and breakout comes back as a recording the whole team can use. That's the part that makes the ask easy to justify. First Dive, $1,299: www.powershellsummit.org/tickets #PSHSummit

New to PowerShell? OnRamp is our beginner track. 40 seats, the same $1,299, and a Summit Buddy who's been before, so you're not eating lunch alone on day one. Full-ride scholarships available: www.powershellsummit.org/on-ramp #PSHSummit

We cap #PSHSummit at 300 people on purpose. It means you can corner the maintainer of the module that's breaking your build at breakfast on day two and go home with an answer. First Dive, $1,299:

New for 2027: everything is under one roof. Sessions, the room block and the Monday community night are all at the Sheraton Orlando Lake Buena Vista. No shuttle. No walk across a campus. April 5-8: www.powershellsummit.org/tickets #PSHSummit

Last call — the #PSHSummit 2027 CFP closes TODAY. Been drafting something? Send it. Been talking yourself out of it? Send it anyway — round one is a blind review, so the idea stands on its own. See you in Orlando, April 5–8: sessionize.com/pshsummit27

#PSHSummit CFP closes TOMORROW. Thirty minutes that end with you submitted: 1. The thing you'd explain over coffee = your title 2. Three sentences: problem, what you did, what they'll learn 3. Pick a format 4. Submit Clear beats perfect:

Accepted #PSHSummit speakers get: a free pass, an honorarium ($250–$2,000 by format), a pro recording of the session, speaker events — and Orlando, April 5–8, 2027. You have the weekend. CFP closes Monday, Aug 31: sessionize.com/pshsummit27 #PowerShell

"Someone's already done a talk on that." Maybe. None of them did it in YOUR environment, with your constraints and the three things that broke at 2am. The topic isn't the value. The specifics are. CFP closes Aug 31: sessionize.com/pshsummit27 #PSHSummit #PowerShell

"I don't have an hour of material." You don't need one. #PSHSummit takes 25-min Fast Focus talks, 45-min breakouts, 90-min deep dives, 4-hr labs and After Dark sessions. Fit the format to your material. CFP closes Aug 31: powershellsummit.org

You've had the idea since April. The script that saves your team 40 hours a month. The thing you keep explaining because nobody wrote it down. That's a session. The idea was the hard part. CFP closes Aug 31: sessionize.com/pshsummit27 #PSHSummit #PowerShell
