Hello!

My name is Ben Fetters and I am a Power Platform Architect for Sovereign SP and the owner of Peak Power Apps - a Power Platform Training company.

I’ve built 100+ solutions in the Power Platform for companies all over the world. I’ve also helped train over 14,000 students through online courses and live training sessions.

I have a passion for improving processes which I discovered in college as I got my Six Sigma Green Belt Certification. This passion grew as I discovered the Power Platform. I still remember the “magic” I felt when I built my very first app.

Helping “citizen developers” discover that same magic feeling and create awesome solutions in the Power Platform has been my passion as well - perhaps even more than building solutions myself.

I post helpful tips regularly on LinkedIn reaching tens of thousands of people each month and also have a YouTube channel. I also speak often at conferences, user groups, and podcasts. I was recently nominated for Microsoft MVP.

I live in Layton, Utah and in my free time I love to play soccer and write middle grade fantasy books (www.benfetters.com)- very nice contrast to working in the It world :)

Power to the Approver: Customizing Approvals with Power Apps and Power Automate

Get ready to supercharge your workflow game!

In this lively session, I'll dive into the magical world of custom approvals using Microsoft Power Apps and Power Automate.

Whether you're just starting out or looking to level up, this presentation is packed with tips, tricks, and a sprinkle of fun to make your approval processes shine.

Here's what I'll cover:

Inspiring Examples: From simple to complex, I'll showcase a variety of custom approvals to spark your creativity and give you fresh ideas for your own workflows.

Blueprint for Success: Discover the secret sauce for setting up the best approval processes. I'll break down the structure and share insider tips to ensure your approvals are top-notch.

Benefits Galore: Learn why having an excellent approval process is a game-changer for your organization. I'll highlight the benefits that will make your workflows smoother and more efficient.

Dynamic Approvals: See how setting up approvals dynamically can help you build custom approvals at lightning speed. You'll be amazed at how quickly you can get things up and running!

Beyond DocuSign and Adobe Sign: Imagine replacing costly tools like DocuSign and Adobe Sign for INTERNAL approvals. I'll show you how these custom approvals can be a powerful alternative.

By the end of this session, you'll be equipped with the knowledge and confidence to create, implement, and manage custom approval workflows that will transform your business processes.

Join me for an engaging, informative, and fun-filled journey into the world of Power Apps and Power Automate!

Don’t miss out – let’s make approvals awesome together!

Reimagining Approval Processes with Copilot Studio

In this "better together" session, we'll talk about the changing landscape of approval process with Power Apps and Power Automate and how they can be more automated, enhanced, and improved once you add Copilot Studio into the mix!

Many people are used to the standard approval processes done with Power Apps and even Power Automate. Though these tools can still be customized to do some amazing things, I want to show how Copilot Studio takes things even further.

This session will be broken into two parts:

Approval pieces that can be REPLACED by Copilot Studio.

And...

NEW approval functionality that can be achieved with Copilot Studio that wasn't possible (or at least easy) before.

Each of these parts will include examples as well as takeaways so that the attendees can really apply what they've learned in the session into the real world. I'm very passionate about helping my attendees ACTUALLY apply the things they've learned, instead of saying, "That was nice," and then they never implement anything.

Approvals are 90% of the solutions that I've built and I've built approval processes of all shapes and sizes - some simple, others taking months to create.

I'd love to share how I've implemented Copilot into these approval processes now and let others learn from my experience and from the experience of other's that I've seen in the "approval" space. :)

Thanks so much for your consideration, please feel free to email me with any questions at ben.fetters@sovereignsp.com and have a great day!

The preferred session duration for this is 60 minutes. Audience size can be both large and small. The target audience for this session is business professionals, app makers (citizen developers) and IT professionals looking to understand methods of doing approvals while integrating Copilot Studio.

Slow App? Lets fix that. Performance Optimization for Canvas Apps

You did it. You created a beautiful and amazing canvas app. Nice job!

The only problem - it’s SLOW. Let’s fix that.

In this session, we’ll learn not only about performance optimization, but what makes apps run slower (or faster) in the first place.

You’ll leave with a list of solid tips you can implement right away to improve your apps speed - and in turn, user experience. Because no one likes an app that’s slow - even if it’s beautifully designed.

From Power FX formulas, to best practices in viewing and saving data to keep your app running smooth (even when dealing with thousands of items). I promise there’s a tip I’ll share that you’ve never heard of and will find helpful. :)

This session is mostly for beginners but can be very helpful for intermediate or even advanced makers as well. :) It’s intended duration is roughly 60 minutes.
