PowerCMS - Azure + BC= Awesome cost effective portals 🧨 en
Power Pages is a great product for publishing data from Dataverse fitting loads of use cases, but there are still some cases where it's not the best fit. Especially if you want to publish data from Business Central you will need to integrate with Dataverse first. In this session we will discover an alternative: Azure Static Web Apps are a great way to bring Static-Site-Generators like Hugo, Jekyll, Gatsby, etc to the cloud in a managed way. With them, you can enjoy serverless hosting of your content with the best availability and performance you will find 🚀
But contrary to what the "Static" in these names implies, these pages/apps don't have to be static at all. You can utilize a lot of APIs and other data sources to make your build process dynamic. I this session we will focus on Business Central as a data source. And it's not just reading data, you can even build forms and write data back! 😎
In this session, we will demo how you can bring your Business Central data in your Static Web Apps and in doing so have a cost-effective way of publishing that data to a wide public audience 🎯
There and Back Again - How to connect Dataverse with Fabric in a bi-directional way 🐉 en
Dataverse is the database powering Microsoft's Power Apps and is loved by millions of users and low code makers globally who are building amazing apps on top of it. It has a long history with Fabric (and its predecessors!) but the focus was always on how to export data. Getting insights back to Dataverse was harder 🤔
Fabric has all the tools you can imagine to transform, enrich, and ultimately generate insights based on your data. But insights aren't complete unless you can drive user actions and business processes. In this session, we will discover how to bring insights you found in Fabric to build apps, drive business processes with Power Automate without data copy, no-ETL, or non-Microsoft integration tools 💪
Based on multiple demos we will explore multiple ways of creating a bi-directional connection between Fabric and Dataverse. From using the default export capabilities toward ways of making Fabric data available in Power Apps via either Power BI or the newest way: virtual tables 🥳
Your key takeaways:
▶️ How to integrate Dataverse with Fabric
▶️ Ways of using Fabric insights in Dataverse / Power Platform
▶️ Further enhancing the usefulness of Fabric by lowering the entry barriers for using it's insights
Elastic tables - Let's make the old SQL dynamic and flexible! 🥨 en
Dataverse is awesome and besides the "newer" name the technology behind it is probably one of the oldest or better one of the most battle-tested ones in the Biz Apps platform.. But it was most of its lifetime basically a SQL database with benefits and all its advantages but also constraints 🪙
But nowadays it's more! Dataverse is not just one database technology anymore; it is a collection of different ones. This makes it extremely powerful but you also need to think about when to use what or else it will be either very underperforming or expensive 🤔
In this session, we will take a deep dive look at Elastic Tables one of the new storage options. It brings NoSQL quality to the table, which enables you to have dynamic data structures in your database without fixed schemas. And it is blazingly fast! 🏎️
Join me for the demo-packed deep dive session to learn what the Dataverse storage options are and what are great use cases for Elastic tables! 💪
Form, Function, and Flair: Mastering Model-Driven App Aesthetics 🌈 en
Model-driven apps offer a rapid development advantage with their pre-built interfaces, but this convenience can often limit customization for specific use cases where the interface falls short. Also by default, Model-Driven apps rarely win a design award 😬
Join us in this session as we explore the options available to enhance your Model-Driven App interfaces, transforming them into not only highly functional applications but also great-looking ones! Be ready to explore the lesser-known / hidden treasure kind of features you might not have heard of! 🚀
We will dive into the customization options, spotlighting features such as Custom Pages, PCFs, and sharing invaluable tips and tricks for elevating form and grid design. Through real-world examples and live demos exclusive to this session (and painful experiences by the speakers!) , you'll gain practical insights into creating beautiful and user-centric applications. 📈
Don't miss this opportunity if you want to level up your Model-Driven app game! Utilizing their inherent efficiency and at the same time providing a tailored visual experience is what will make your app stand out. 💪
It's Power Automate not Power Integrate 😬 en
As a Power Platform developer did you ever find yourself building integrations between Dataverse and other systems using Power Automate? It's right there, it's easy to do, it has tons of connectors, and Microsoft promotes it as part of their integration story. It's an obvious choice! 👍
Well maybe. But I would wager that you already have - or probably will run into problems like this with Power Automate integrations at some point:
🛑 Problems with user accounts/connections
💩 Too many API calls
🤬 Unperforming and long-running integrations
🤦♂️ Logging and debugging in a "Blackbox"
This session was born from painful learned real-life lessons which I want to share with everybody. There is a reason "Integration" is not part of the product name and together we will discover why and also what alternatives can be. Expect an interactive session with lots of audience engagement so bring your best Power Automate integration stories as well! 🙂
After this session, you will take these things with you:
✅ When to use Power Automate and when not
❗ Common pitfalls to look out for
👉 What alternatives there are

The hidden Powers of Custom Connectors 🧙♂️ en de
With custom connectors, you can combine the flexibility of APIs with the easy-to-use awesomeness that is the Power Platform. While there are a lot of examples for simple connectors, custom connectors offer a variety of advanced but less well-known features. Let's change the less-know part! 🚀
Did you know that you can have fields with dynamic option values? Or that you can create action where some fields are completely dynamic and loaded at runtime? You can even create custom connectors with custom triggers 👌
We will spend little time on theory but instead are focusing on awesome features in live demos 🔥

Next Level Power BI mit embedded Power Apps 🚀 en de
In dieser Session werden wir das Power Apps visual für Power BI nutzen, um unsere Reports auf das nächste Level zu heben 🔥
Power BI bietet von Haus aus großartige interaktive Berichte und Dashboards, mit der neuen Power Apps Integration werden zusätzlich ganz neue Möglichkeiten geschaffen. Beides kombiniert empowered Benutzer direkt in ihren Berichten mehr zu erreichen und nicht mehr nur Daten zu konsumieren 💪
In dieser Session werden wir uns nur kurz mit Theorie beschäftigen sondern stattdessen möglichst viel Zeit mit Demos verbringen wie man Power BI und Power Apps zusammen bringt um Reports der nächsten Generation zu bauen 📊
The hidden Powers of Custom Connectors 🧙♂️ en de
Mit Custom Connectors kannst du die unbegrenzte Flexibilität von APIs einfach in der Power Plattform in der gewohnten Low-Code Art verfügbar machen. Es gibt bereits viele Tutorials und Beschreibung für einfache Connectoren, aber Custom Connectors bietet noch einige weitere Features die eher unbekannt sind. Lasst uns das ändern, denn diese Features sind ziemlich mächtig 🚀
Kennst du dynamische Feldwerte in Form von automatisch gefüllt Optionslisten? Oder Aktionen die alle Felder wie von Magie anhand von Parametern laden? Sogar Custom Connectoren mit eigenen Triggern sind möglich 👌
In dieser Session werden wir wenig Zeit mit Theorie verbringen sondern uns viel mehr darauf fokussieren die Features anhand von Demos auszuprobieren 🔥
PowerCMS - Dynamische Azure Static Web Apps mit Dataverse Daten 🧨 en de
Azure Static Web Apps sind eine großartige Möglichkeit, statische Website-Generatoren wie Hugo, Jekyll, Gatsby usw. in einer verwalteten Weise in die Cloud zu bringen. Mit ihnen könnt ihr eure Contents mit der besten Verfügbarkeit und Leistung hosten und weltweit verfügbar machen 🚀
Aber im Gegensatz zu dem, was das "Static" in diesen Namen impliziert, müssen diese Seiten/Apps überhaupt nicht statisch sein. Sie können eine Vielzahl von APIs und anderen Datenquellen nutzen, um Ihren Build-Prozess dynamisch zu gestalten und Content zu laden oder generieren. Und wir alle kennen eine der besten Datenquellen, die es gibt -> Dataverse 😎
In dieser Session werden wir Demos machen, wie ihr eure Dataverse-Daten in eure statischen Web-Apps bringen können und damit eine kostengünstige Möglichkeit schafft, diese Daten einem breiten Publikum zugänglich zu machen 🎯
