# PSConfEU MiniCon 2026 Is Next Week Not everyone can make it to [PowerShell Conference Europe](https://psconf.eu/) in person, and June is a long way off for the rest of the year. That's what the PSConfEU MiniCon is for: a free, online, one-day edition. This year's [MiniCon](https://sessionize.com/psconfeu-minicon-2026) is next week, on **Tuesday, October 13**. ## What MiniCon is - **Free and online** — open to everyone (the organizers only reserve the right to cap the number of people for technical reasons) - **In [Gather Town](https://www.gather.town/)** — a virtual world where you walk around as an avatar and bump into people, which works a lot more like a conference hallway than a video call does - **Built for every time zone** — sessions are spread over a morning (7:00 CEST), midday (13:00 CEST) and evening (18:30 CEST) block, so speakers and attendees from other continents can join at a reasonable hour If you went to PSConfEU in June, it's a good moment to catch up with people you met there. If you didn't, it's an easy way to get a taste of the community before deciding on the big one. Keep an eye on [psconf.eu](https://psconf.eu/) for the schedule and how to join. ## Not me this year Unfortunately I won't be there this time — not as a speaker, and not as an attendee either. MiniCon falls during my kids' school holidays, and we're off to Disneyland Paris. As a Disney fan, I'm afraid that's a pretty easy choice to make 😄 I will definitely watch the videos once they're online, though. ## Catching up afterwards Recordings of the previous editions are on the PSConfEU site — [MiniCon 2025](https://psconf.eu/recordings/minicon-2025/), [2024](https://psconf.eu/recordings/minicon-2024/) and [2023](https://psconf.eu/recordings/videos-minicon-2023/) — so this year's should end up on the [recordings page](https://psconf.eu/recordings/) as well. The recordings of the main conference in June are already there; my two sessions from it are in [this post](/2026-08-20-psconfeu-2026-videos-online/). Happy scripting 😊
