The Importance of Slack

Summit is more than a week-long event — it’s an ongoing community. It’s where attendees connect, collaborate, and support each other throughout the year.

That’s where the devops-summit Slack workspace comes in.

Slack is the primary way we stay connected during Summit. It’s where you’ll find real-time updates, coordinate meetups, and keep up with everything happening throughout the week.

Why Slack Matters

During Summit, Slack is the best place to: - Discover last-minute or unrecorded side sessions - Find groups for dinner or evening activities (check #dinner-tonight) - Ask questions and get quick answers - Stay informed about announcements and schedule updates

If you’re ever unsure about what’s happening next, Slack is the fastest way to find out.

Before Summit

A few weeks before Summit, you’ll receive an invitation to join the Slack workspace.

If you haven’t received your invite by about 6 weeks before the event, please email summit@powershell.org with your email address. A personal email is recommended, as corporate filters often block invites.

After Summit

Slack isn’t just for the event — it’s how the community stays connected year-round.

After Summit, you can use Slack to: - Continue conversations and stay in touch - Ask follow-up questions - Reconnect with people you met - Get help with tools, scripts, or ideas you discovered at Summit

It’s one of the most valuable ongoing resources the community has. Whether you need to solve a problem, find a resource, or just stay plugged in — it’s there.

Give It a Try

If you’re new to Slack, it might feel like just another tool at first — but it quickly becomes one of the most valuable parts of the Summit experience.

Join early, explore the channels, and don’t be shy about jumping into conversations.
