Model-driven gaps ... How to fill these gaps with custom pages!

You've probably developed a model-driven app where you ran into limits and thought .... maybe I should have opted for a canvas app after all?

Model-driven apps are cool, but not always flexible enough to solve the whole problem, by using custom pages the possibilities have become almost endless. However, there are also challenges in using custom pages. When and how do you use these custom pages and how do you ensure a good and consistent user interface?

In this session I will use several examples and live demos to take you into the world of custom pages. How to create and use custom pages. How to add a good and consistent user interface that fits seamlessly to your model-driven app and how to build and use reusable components for your custom pages. Of course I will also share my experiences, tips and pitfalls with you during this session.

After this session you will have a good understanding of how to implement custom pages. How you can use library components, Creator Kit or out-of-the-box controls to create a nice and solid user interface.

Play it (w)right: automate your end-to-end tests in the Power Platform

From Custom to Generative: Filling Model-Driven gaps with pages

You've probably developed a model-driven app where you ran into limits and thought .... maybe I should have opted for a Canvas app after all?

Model-driven apps are powerful, but sometimes they just don’t go far enough. With custom pages, we have the freedom to design flexible user experiences right inside our model-driven apps. In this session, I’ll show you how to create and use custom pages, and leverage Creator Kit components to build scalable solutions.

But the story doesn’t stop there — Microsoft has recently introduced generative pages. What does this mean for the future of model-driven apps? How can AI help you create pages faster, and how do these new generative pages compare to custom pages?

Join me for several examples, live demos, and a look into the future. After this session, you’ll have a good understanding of how to implement custom pages, but also understand how generative pages will shape the next generation of Power Apps.

Vibe coding in the Power Platform: opportunities, pitfalls, and reality

You’ve probably heard the phrase “Low-code is dead — as we know it” more than once. But is that really true? Is low-code truly disappearing, or is it simply evolving?

The Power Platform is changing rapidly under the influence of AI. Building apps is no longer just about dragging controls onto a canvas or writing formulas. It’s about expressing intent and letting agents do the heavy lifting.

AI-driven “vibe coding” promises speed, flexibility, and a new way of working. But what does that look like in practice?

In this session, we take a realistic look at the vibe coding capabilities of the Power Platform. Through hands-on demos, you’ll see how to create generative pages for model-driven apps, build applications via vibe.powerapps.com and develop Code Apps using Visual Studio Code. Along the way, we’ll discuss what this evolution means for governance, quality, and the role of makers and developers.

This session is for makers, developers, and consultants who have experience building (low code) apps within the Power Platform. Basic knowledge of Visual Studio Code is helpful, but not required.
