Reimagining the Model‑Driven UX: Custom Pages Working Together to Redefine UI and When to Use Them
Model‑driven apps are powerful, but the default experience—grids, forms, and dashboards—often doesn’t match how users actually work. In this session, attendees will see how Custom Pages can work together to fundamentally reshape the model‑driven experience, turning it into a guided, role‑based, and task‑focused user interface—without leaving Dataverse or abandoning model‑driven architecture.
This session walks through a realistic Power Platform solution and demonstrates how Custom Pages can replace the standard model‑driven home experience, acting as a purposeful entry point instead of a generic landing screen. Attendees will see how multiple Custom Pages coordinate with model‑driven components, automation, and Microsoft Teams to create a seamless experience where the UI, data, and flows are intentionally connected.
In addition, a key part of the session is a comparative discussion on when to use Custom Pages versus Canvas Apps versus Power Pages. Attendees will gain clarity on how to choose the right experience based on audience, security, context, and workflow complexity—understanding that Custom Pages are not just “another canvas,” but a strategic tool for modernizing internal, model‑driven experiences.
Through live walkthroughs and architectural explanations, the audience will observe:
- How Custom Pages can replace the default model‑driven home experience
- How multiple Custom Pages work together as a unified UX
- How model‑driven apps, automation, and Teams integrate into a single experience
- When to choose Custom Pages vs Canvas Apps vs Power Pages
- Practical UX and architecture patterns they can apply immediately
By the end of the session, attendees will walk away with a clear mental model for how Custom Pages fit into the broader Power Platform UX strategy, how they can replace or augment the default model‑driven UI, and how automation and connected experiences elevate—not complicate—the overall solution design.

Unlocking Hidden Debugging Superpowers in Dynamics 365 & Power Platform
Debugging Dynamics 365 and Power Platform apps often feels like navigating in the dark — breakpoints fail silently, console logs only tell part of the story, and tracing complex interactions across forms, plugins, and Power Automate flows can be like following breadcrumbs.
What you might not know is the platform has a "secret menu" of hidden diagnostic tools built directly into the URL and environment that most makers and developers never use.
If you build, customize, or support Dynamics 365 or Power Platform solutions, this session will change the way you debug forever.

Security by Design: Architect for Safety, Reduce Power Plat Risks, and Master Power Page Permissions
Security in Power Platform isn’t just about roles and rules — it’s about architecture, governance, and understanding the hidden risks that quietly expose data. In this session, we’ll take a hybrid approach: first, exploring the real-world security pitfalls that organizations face as Power Platform adoption accelerates, and then diving deep into the most misunderstood area of all — Power Pages permissions.
You’ll learn how to architect for safety from the start, reduce risk through practical patterns, and finally make sense of the layered permission model that confuses even seasoned practitioners. Whether you’re an architect, admin, or consultant, you’ll walk away with a clear mental model, actionable steps, and the confidence to secure your Power Platform environments with intention and clarity.

From Case Notes to Code: The Non‑Traditional Path to Tech Is Paved with Transferable Skills
I didn’t start my career in technology — I started it in psychology and social work, supporting homeless veterans through high‑stakes situations where trust, clarity, and resilience weren’t “soft skills”… they were survival skills. Today, I’m a Senior Consultant at Microsoft, leading and delivering complex business application solutions — and I’ve learned that the bridge between those two worlds is stronger than most people realize.
This session is about building a career beyond the blueprint — especially for women who don’t come from traditional tech pathways. This path isn’t theoretical — it’s already been paved by people whose skills just weren’t labeled ‘technical’ yet. I’ll share the real pivot: the imposter syndrome, the learning curve, and the moment it clicked that my “non‑technical” background wasn’t a gap — it was an advantage. Because technology isn’t just code; it’s people, systems, and outcomes. And the skills women develop in human‑centered roles — empathy, stakeholder alignment, systems thinking, and communication — are the exact skills that make great consultants and leaders.
This talk is for women at any stage of their journey, who are career‑pivoting, doubting their place in tech, or building something new without a roadmap. You don’t need to fit the mold to belong in tech. You can build your own bridge — and then help other women cross it.
Attendees will learn how to identify, articulate, and leverage their own non‑traditional experiences to build confidence, credibility, and career momentum in tech and consulting roles.
Attendees will take away:
- Why non‑linear careers are not a disadvantage in tech—but a differentiator
- How non-traditional and human‑centered skills translate directly into technical leadership and consulting success
- How women can reframe their background as credibility, not a gap, and map transferable skills to real technology outcomes
