Daniel Laskewitz	15:00 - Extend the Power Platform with Custom Connectors	There are a lot of extensibility options in the Power Platform. One of those is custom connectors. Of course, the Power Platform already has 800+ connectors, but sometimes you miss a connector, an action, or a trigger. Microsoft offers the option to create custom connectors for that. These connectors allow users to connect to and integrate with various external data sources, such as web services or databases, and use that data in their Power Apps, Power Automate cloud flows, and Logic Apps. In this session, Daniel will build a custom connector step by step and show you what you should be aware of when working on custom connectors.
Dieter De Cock	16:00 - Digital Transformation through Automation Center Of Excellence	Digital transformation is changing industries in profound and surprising ways. One of the most powerful in enabling business to gain a competitive advantage may surprisingly not affect customers at all—it's Hyper automation / robotic process automation (RPA). By using software robots, RPA's technology makes it easy for companies to emulate human actions interacting with digital systems and software. Enterprise organizations have been using RPA to increase efficiency, connect with legacy systems, reduce mistakes, and improve security. Join us for this session where we’ll demonstrate how organizations are doing enterprise-wide rollout of automation with RPA and beyond.
Track 2
Tomasz Poszytek	10:00 - Cloud flows debugging and error handling	Have you seen the scope control in list of Power Automate actions? Have you ever thought how to use it and basically, why is it there? Have you had problems with making your cloud flows to work as expected? Do you struggle with learning why your flows are failing? If any question rings you a bell, this session is for you!
Eickhel Mendoza	11:00 - Improve the performance of your Cloud Flows in Power Automate	Power Automate is a platform that aims to improve business processes with a series of actions that help streamline existing operations. During this talk, I will show you some tips to improve the performance of Flows connected to SharePoint, Azure SQL and some general tricks to get the most out of your solutions.
Peter Baddeley	12:00 - Building Better Flows: A Five Step Guide	How many people have built a Flow in a rush and wish they could go back to change it now? How many people have inherited a Flow that has a step called compose 7? How many people have built a Flow straight against a live SharePoint Site?

Peter Baddeley	15:00 - Deep Dive into Integrating Model Driven Apps with SharePoint	The Dataverse is not the best place to store Documents and SharePoint is a terrible relational database. Together they can be used as a platform for building solutions to manage your business. However, the out of the box integration does not reflect how many organisations want to manage the SharePoint architecture. Calling on over 10 years experience integrating the two platforms Peter Baddeley assess the options available. He will explain the core components that make the integration work and how organisations can leverage that to build their own architecture.
Magnus Sørensen	16:00 - Automated in-memory testing of Power Automate Flows	Tools like FakeXrmEasy and XrmMockup allows a developer to mock a Dataverse environment so their plugins can be run locally. In this session, I will show how the Power Automate Mock-Up tool can mock Power Automate Flows and together with XrmMockup can test business logic that executes back and forth between Power Automate Flows and plugins. This adds a new dimension to automated testing in Dataverse that will create more durable applications.
Track 3
Miguel Verweij	10:00 - The Good, the Great, and the Mega of the Creator Kit	Do you create Canvas Apps? Do you create Custom Pages? Do you want your app to look good? Do you spend too much time on all the control properties? Do you want to attend a session where you learn things you can implement right after?
Feline Parein	11:00 - Co-development in Power Apps, the different stages of working together	Working together on a single Power App is not easy, but sometimes you have no other option. I will discuss different strategies you can use right away to help you manage your co-development. From solution strategies, working with components and even how to integrate git into your development cycle.
Devendra Salve	12:00 - Power Platform- The Pivot you need to Transform your Business Operations	Despite the abundance of tools and applications available for business operations, value realization from them remains a challenge. Not only do they need to deliver business outcomes but have to feel bespoke to business-specific use cases.

Magnus Sørensen	11:00 - Event-driven architecture with Dataverse	In the world of custom development the concept of Domain Driven Design and Event Stores are becoming the preferred way to make durable applications. Dataverse can not store events in a reliable way, but it can pass them on and receive them in a reliable way. In this session, I will show the different alternatives in the Power Platform that can be used to pass events in and out of Dataverse to make a more durable application. You will get a taste of Domain Driven Design and the power it brings to an application.

The course provides a solid foundation for further learning which can be provided in the form of follow on courses, or short sprint sessions to focus on key areas introduced within the course. Objectives ================================== On completion of this course delegates will be able to understand the key stages of working with Power Automate: 1. Define what Power Automate is and how it can be used 2. Create a cloud flow from blank 3. Build conditional logic 4. Create connections to Microsoft 365 services 5. Write basic expressions 6. Share flows with other users
Tomasz Poszytek	Automate the impossible - where RPA steps in	Ever since companies started their journey to move IT to cloud, problem with old software, still being used, was getting more significant. But why should they replace it with new, cloud ready tools, if it still works and serves really fine its purpose? This is where Robotic Process Automation steps in and does the job. During this workshop you will learn: * About RPA in Microsoft Power Platform, * How to run cloud flows that includes local machine steps, * How to use Power Automate Desktop, * Tips&Tricks to make your desktop flows better and more efficient. Whenever you need to include legacy software in modern, cloud based workflows, RPA sounds like the ultimate solution. However, it's good to know its pros and cons to wisely make that choice.
