My MEM Summit 2026 recap is a bit late, but finally done 🙂 Great to be back in Paris at a fantastic new venue, catch up with friends and fellow speakers, and meet PowerShell inventor Jeffrey Snover. Always inspired by this amazing community! #memsummit

I am on day 3 at #memsummit and good content keeps coming from great speakers and fellow MVPs and community members, David Brooks, Rudy Ooms, Joost Gelijsteen, Nicklas Ahlberg, Florian Sak mann, Stefan Schörling, Jörgen Nilsson

Day two of #memsummit has allready started with a keynote from Lior Bella and Sangeetha Visweswaran. Later today I have my session with Jan Ketil Skanke and a session with Sandy Zeng. It will be a great day in Paris.

It has been a full first day at #memsummit with an overload of great information from great friends in the community - Maurice Daly, Nickolaj Andersen, Anders Ahl, Joery Van Den Bosch, Jose Schenardie, Maxime Guillemin, and more.

Popular session with great interaction on browser management at #memsummit. Great delivery from Jörgen Nilsson and Ronni Pedersen. The browser is the company's most important app, and must be managed.

The session on Intune Automations with managed identities by Jan Ketil Skanke and Sandy Zeng is received by a standing room. #memsummit

Day one of #memsummit and we allready had a great opening note by Mattias Melkersen Kalvåg followed by the keynote from the legendary Jeffrey Snover - the inventor of PowerShell. I loved to hear his history and how he sees the role of the IT Pro changing.

A week after #ELDK26 and I’m still reflecting on it. Following Experts Live Denmark through its 3-year journey has been impressive. It has quickly become one of the strongest community conferences in the Nordics. Very grateful to be part of this community. Great people, great discussions. 👌
