Here’s all you need to know about the upcoming first ever official PowerShell conference collected by me from multiple websites and put here in one place. 
When & Where
April 17-19 2011, Las Vegas
Price
Hugely discounted $850 if you register by March 31, and full $1825 starting April 1. To get the discount register here and use code ATGNJR6E.
[UPDATE] Note that this discounted price is good if you limit yourself to the PowerShell session. If you want full flexibility of all of TEC – you need to pay for the regular full conference pass. Also note that there is an extra fee involved if you sign-up for the pre-conference training.

Agenda
April 17: 4 hour pre-conference hands on workshop with Don Jones – everyone will get a computer lab and Don will make sure that you are up to speed with PowerShell, and ready for the Deep Dive on April 18 & 19.
April 18-19 two days of lots of PowerShell contest including a scripting party, and sessions. Sessions will consist of regular 75 minute “using PowerShell to manage X” kind of sessions, and deep PowerShell sessions related to the PowerShell language per se. The latter will be shorter and will include a lot of discussions with the actual PowerShell product team so you know why they implemented the system in a particular way, and they will collect from you the feedback they need to make things better!
Here’s the current quick list of just some of the session names – full descriptions can be found here.
