Side Sessions

Throughout Summit we will make a few of the smaller side rooms available “Side Sessions.”

What’s a Side Session?

It’s anything. It can be a discussion about running user groups, an ad hoc working group for a particular problem you’ve identified, or anything you like. The rooms follow the same schedule as the main breakouts, and if a Side Session room is not being used, you are welcome to take it for any purpose you like.

<<<<<<< HEAD You can also suggest Side Sessions in advance, once you’ve registered. Send an email to sidesession@powershell.org Or Mike Kanakas a message on Slack at any time (including during Summit), including your full name, the title of your session, and a sentence or two describing it. We’ll add you to the schedule (please don’t suggest sessions you don’t plan to run yourself – that’s not how this works). ======= You can also suggest Side Sessions in advance once you’ve registered.

With that in mind, it’s worth checking the schedule a lot throughout Summit, as we’ll always be adding new Side Session topics.

Ground rules for Side Sessions:

  • There’s no electrical power
  • There’s no A/V - but you’re welcome to bring your own pico-projector, if you like
  • No one records them.
  • Wrap up and vacate on time to make the room available for the next group

In short, these are just rooms with chairs and tables. They’re best for discussions more than demos (although we’ve seen people be creative with free online screen-sharing websites), and they’re best for small groups (each room holds about 40 max).
