Beyond low-code: Building Code Apps in Power Platform

For years, we have built apps in Power Platform using Canvas and Model-Driven Apps, while utilizing the drag-and-drop simplicity, WYSIWYG design, and a sprinkle of Power Fx magic. All true to the low-code formula. With Code Apps, a new contender has entered the arena. But does this mean low-code makers are out of the game? Absolutely not! In this session, we’ll see how to create a Code App from scratch, connect it to Dataverse, call a Power Automate flow, and see live updates. All while leveraging GitHub Copilot as our coding sidekick. We will also discuss what this means for governance, maintainability, and ALM in the Power Platform world.

Expect to leave inspired and equipped to bring Code Apps into your Power Platform toolbox, without needing to be a seasoned developer. With the right tools and a little help from GitHub Copilot, you’ll see how approachable and powerful this new capability can be.

Building event-driven solutions with Power Platform and Azure Services

Real-time responsiveness is essential for modern business applications, and event-driven architectures provide the foundation for speed, flexibility, and integration. In this session, we’ll explore how Power Platform can work with Azure services such as Event Grid, Service Bus, Queues, and Functions to build event-driven solutions that connect systems and processes seamlessly. We’ll show how events can flow both ways:
- pushing data from Power Platform into Azure for advanced processing
- consuming Azure events in low-code apps and flows

Along the way, we’ll discuss practical integration patterns, connector options, and considerations for security and maintainability. Through live demos based on real-world implementations, you’ll see how event-driven designs extend Power Platform beyond traditional workflows to deliver agility and innovation at scale. All while keeping those enterprise architects happy.

Unleashing the potential of the Power Platform for a bunch of bankers: A technical deep dive

In a world of strict financial rules, a leading Norwegian bank has reshaped the Anti-Money Laundering controls utilizing the full width of the Power Platform, empowering the bankers in their daily work. We will dive into the technical capabilities and solutions which ultimately lead to the successful adoption of a flexible and reusable reporting and monitoring system of cases and quality controls.

Our technical deep dive offers insights into Power Platform's multifaceted functionalities, covering topics such as data integration, automation, analytics, security, robustness, reusability, data quality enhancement, and connecting to on-premises data sources.

The session equips you with a profound understanding of Power Platform's potential in solving complex and business critical processes at a rapid pace. This is your opportunity to explore how lowcode fuels innovation, insights, and compliance.
