Stop reinventing the wheel - Power Apps Canvas components and custom functions

Learn in this session how to build reusable canvas components and manage them across your organization to achieve design consistency,
improve maker satisfaction and productivity, and shorten time-to-market of your Power Apps.

Luise will show you everything you need to know about how to plan and build components including input, output, and behavioral properties,
how to document components properly and how to manage them in component libraries.

She will also cover cutom functions that you can call across your apps over and over again, which will speed up development and
increase quality of your (low-) code.

This session will change the way you build apps as you can't unsee anymore all the repeated patterns that should be componentized.

Mastering Fine-Tuning with GPT-4o: A Practical Guide

This session provides an in-depth look at the fine-tuning capabilities of GPT-4o, using Python and Jupyter Notebooks. Participants will learn how to create, format, and test training data, and how to fine-tune models for specific tasks. With a focus on practical demos, this session will cover creating fine-tuning jobs, testing results, and using fine-tuned models effectively. You will gain hands-on experience in building apps that utilize customized AI responses, optimizing both accuracy and efficiency.

Leveraging Multimodal Capabilities of GPT-4o for Data Processing

This session explores multimodal capabilities of GPT-4o, with a focus on practical applications in data extraction from images using Python and Jupyter Notebooks. You will learn to set up the OpenAI API, process various image inputs, and generate structured JSON data for spreadsheet integration. This session includes hands-on demos of function calling, error handling, and automation of data processing tasks, providing a comprehensive understanding of building applications that seamlessly convert visual information into actionable data.

The AI ethics session nobody knew we needed

Asking AI to generate an image for you, create content, answer questions? Very convenient, but oh-so-problematic! AI is not only borderline plagiarizing styles from human artists, who then don't get recognized, but also highly biased as it reflects the oppressive systems (racism, imperialism, sexism, ableism...) we still live in. AI ethics are becoming more important than ever with the rise of AI-driven products like ChatGPT and Dall-E. The problem with these implementations is a great bias, coming from a lack of diverse datasets and non-transparent approaches in delivering outcomes. From facial recognition to chatbots, bias can be found in any application ranging from very little to heavily biased. During this session, Luise will discuss insights on creating transparency and driving away from skewness, data-narrowness and blindness. She will also walk you through how AI actually works, followed by a deep-dive into ethics and the problems we are facing now and in the future. This session provides you with lots of food for thought and enables you to make better-informed decisions about using and implementing AI in your applications.

Size matters?! Start building responsive Power Apps canvas apps


"If doesn't work on mobile, it doesn't work!" - AS we can't predict which device or orientation our users use our apps with,
we need to make them fit every device and every orientation.

Learn in this session how to get started with building responsive apps in canvas apps.
Luise wil guide you plan a responsive app, and how to take action with utilizing all 3 types of containers,
how to deal with breakpoints, and how to troubleshoot bugs.

How developing your minimal LOVABLE product will delight users

While the minimal viable product is focused (MVP) to test the market and validate an idea, the minimal lovable product (MLP) is designed to additionally delight and engage users, which will ultimately drive adoption. In this session, you will learn how to define this MLP so that you know which features to build and how to make users fall in love with your app. You will learn why creating a strong emotional connection with your users starts duding development and not afterwards in marketing. Communicating the value proposition is not anymore something that happens after a release, but we need to shift-left here and put people front and center. Thinking not only about basic user needs, but building something that relates to them is at the very core of highly successful software development.

"I will remember that" and other lies - Why documentation matters and it makes your apps better

If we mention to write documentation, this goes very often with some rolling eyes 🙄 as documenting is considered to be one of the least attractive tasks. Learn in this session not only why complete documentation (no, inline comments are not sufficient) matters, but how changing your view and approach of writing the docs can lead to a better understanding of your app, easier onboarding for your team, smoother delivery, and better user-experience. Luise will provide you with some eye-opening insights on the why, how and what of proper documentation.

The accessibility session you didn't know you need

Very often accessibility is either overlooked, or considered to be something that somehow needs to be taken care of, but it is not near and dear to every developers heart. It is also something, that we usually don't think about as from the very beginning of a project - which will later lead to additional spending of time, money, focus, and energy. Learn in this session why this old way of thinking will not only cost us users, but will also serve the remaining users with a not ideal user experience.

It's not enough to comply to some accessibility standards like WCAG because we need to. Our efforts to make experiences accessible to people with specific access needs are the result of creative problem-solving - while the special requirements are not a constraint to somehow deal with, but an opportunity to ultimately serve many and provide them with the best-in-class experience.
