Unique Sessions

One of our aims for this conference is not only to give our attendees and you a brilliant experience but also to create an outstanding contribution to the resources available for people to continue to learn from. If your session is exactly the same as in a different event then we are not able to increase the knowledge sharing, only duplicate it.

Please make your sessions submissions for PSConfEU unique.

Of course, we understand that you will want to practice them at User Groups (Please support the PowerShell User Groups) and that you may also submit similar sessions to other large conferences, but we ask you to tweak them so that we (and you) can enable greater knowledge sharing.

Session Topics 

We are looking forward to what you can bring to the community! All sessions should have one thing in common: Aimed at or associated with (people that use) PowerShell. We ask that either your session or you work with PowerShell as, that is the main focus. But we also love to be surprised. Previous topics included Mental Health, Azure automation, GIT, DevOps & Presentation skills 

Session Length

Normal sessions will be 45 minutes in length including the Q&A. Please leave time for Q&A as we love for the audience to engage.

New this year, we'd like to offer "Follow-along" sessions of 90 minutes.
The rooms will be equipped with tables so that people can bring their laptop and reproduce what is presented. These are not workshops, there may be over a hundred attendees in those sessions.

What we expect from you as a Speaker 

You are expected to follow our code of conduct, linked here. 

This means that we expect you to champion our values of inclusion, diversity, and professionalism. We also wish to make absolutely clear that inappropriate behaviour will not be accepted or tolerated at all. 

We are looking for speakers who enjoy attending this conference, and who love to dive into the event and be part of it. If you can only attend psconf.eu for a day or two, please let us know so we can plan the slots. 

Each speaker will be chosen for two sessions, so we recommend to submit at least four sessions to maximize your chances.
If you're co-speaking, that only counts as half a session, or you have to forfeit the speaker benefits (add a note to the submitted session).

We make an effort to record the talks and make them available to the community afterwards at https://PowerShell.video and to also share the code and/or slide decks. By applying you agree for your session to be published 

What will you get? 

• Free conference admission 
• Exclusive speaker SWAG 
  
• 50 % participation for a hotel room (or a free shared hotel room with another speaker) 
  
• Credit and eternal gratitude 
  
• Maybe this year, more hugs!! 
  

If you're travelling with a child under the age of 3, your hotel room will be covered by us on a double occupancy + baby basis. 

Are the costs a reason for you to not apply? Please apply and mention in the comment what kind of help you would need. We cannot make any promises, but we want to consider to help people who don’t have the support of their employer. 

Speaker Confirmation 

Despite the call for speakers closing on December 16th and knowing that will mean that some of you will not submit until December 16th at 11pm, we might review sessions and announce speakers before this date. So don’t hesitate to submit as early as possible! 

We will inform all speakers chosen and otherwise by January 5th, and ask that you confirm positively or negatively as quickly as you can. 

Accepted speakers get a room in the Speakers hotel (please do not book accommodation yourself unless you or your company are covering it), free admission to the conference and all of its events, special invitation to the exclusive Speakers Dinner. Travel is yours to cover.
