The Current State So! If you visit the PowerShell.org events page, you’ll find a bevy of PowerShell-focused events, from local PowerShell user groups to global PowerShell conferences. What you won’t find, yet, is a list of PowerShell related sessions at the many other conferences and user groups you might consider attending. Maybe you’d like to find PowerShell oriented sessions at non-PowerShell user groups and mini conferences like SQL Saturdays, VMUGs, Azure User Groups, Security BSides, DevOpsDays, etc.
