Clarity delivers heatmaps and session replays for model driven apps, canvas apps, and even power pages! This tool may not be available out of the box, but in this session we will help you set it up so you can capture real user behaviour without redesigning your forms.

We’ll cover where Clarity adds the most value in Dynamics scenarios, what to track (and what not to), and how to stay compliant with masking and consent. Then we’ll walk through a quick, repeatable install you can apply to any environment.

You’ll leave knowing when to use Clarity, how to roll it out safely, and how to turn those insights into backlog-ready UX improvements, all backed by a short live demo you can replicate in minutes!

Citizen development has the potential to revolutionize how organizations solve problems and innovate. However, balancing freedom and control is crucial to ensure success. Many organizations struggle with giving citizen developers the autonomy to create solutions while maintaining the necessary oversight to ensure security, compliance, and quality.

In this session, we will share our comprehensive roadmap for implementing citizen development in a large enterprise. We developed a strategy that provides the right guardrails to citizen developers, allowing them to leverage the Power Platform to address their unique challenges without being overly dependent on IT. Our approach includes extensive training programs, vibrant communities, and adoption initiatives to raise awareness, facilitate onboarding, and foster a collaborative low-code movement.

On the governance side, we implemented managed environments with clear and strict policies, along with deployment pipelines to ensure security and manageability. We also created tools to guide citizen developers in building applications that adhere to company guidelines, including branding and best practices.

Drawing from our journey of both successes and failures, this session will offer a deep dive into our ongoing efforts to enhance and perfect our citizen development strategy.

Power Pages can do a lot, but getting them to do exactly what you want? That’s where things get interesting. In this session, I’ll walk you through the good, the tricky, and the surprisingly doable ways I’ve used Power Pages with APIs, Power Automate, and custom design. It’s not just a how-to, it’s a “here’s what actually worked (and what didn’t)” session.

What You’ll Learn:
Calling external APIs sounds great—until authentication, data formats, or cryptic errors hit. I’ll walk you through how I tackled those real-life struggles and made it work.
And not only that—😉 API integration can unlock some serious magic, even helping you bypass some of Power Pages’ built-in limits. It’s kind of a secret... but I’ll show you.

Triggering Power Automate from Pages: Whether it’s submitting a form or clicking a custom button, I’ll share how I linked flows to make real stuff happen behind the scenes.

Customizing Without Breaking Everything: From tweaking templates to adding your own JavaScript and styling, I’ll show what’s safe to touch and what to avoid.

Lessons Learned the Hard Way: I’ve broken pages, hit security walls, and faced surprises mid-demo. You’ll hear the shortcuts, fixes, and workarounds that saved the day.

Best Practices that Actually Help: The clean setups, security tips, and design tricks I always keep in mind now (after learning them the hard way).

Why Join?
Because real-life building isn’t always smooth, and that’s okay. This session is for anyone who wants to make Power Pages really work, with confidence and creativity.

Stop crossing your fingers and hoping AI-generated code works. In this session, we'll move beyond "vibe coding" and into the world of agentic engineering, where AI doesn't just write code that works - it writes code you'd be proud to ship to production.

Since August 2025, I've been successfully deploying AI-written code to real customer environments. The secret? An open-source framework that transforms AI from a coding assistant into a professional developer who writes safe, maintainable, and thoroughly tested Dataverse and Azure code.

What You'll Learn:
* Live demonstration of AI writing production-quality Dataverse plugins, custom APIs, and business logic that looks exactly like senior developer code.
* Deep dive into the framework architecture that enforces coding standards, security patterns, and comprehensive test coverage.
* How agentic engineering differs from typical AI coding: focusing on long-term maintainability, not just immediate functionality.
* Practical strategies to implement this approach in your organization—either by adopting my open-source framework or building your own.

Why This Matters:
While everyone's talking about AI and Copilot, we're actually shipping AI-written code to production. This isn't about prompting tricks or hoping for the best - it's about systematic engineering practices that make AI a reliable member of your development team. The agent even writes more unit tests than most developers (myself included) because it never gets lazy.

Key Takeaways:
* Understanding the shift from ad-hoc AI assistance to systematic agentic engineering.
* Concrete patterns for ensuring AI-generated code meets enterprise standards.
* Access to the open-source framework and implementation guidance.
* Real-world examples from months of production deployments.

Join me to discover how professional Dataverse development with AI isn't just possible - it's already happening, and you can start implementing it tomorrow.

Microsoft now calls everything an “agent” — from Copilot Studio to Fabric, SharePoint assistants, SDK-built copilots, and Excel or Dynamics-based researchers. But not all agents are created equal.

In this fast-paced, demo-heavy 25-minute session, we’ll cut through the confusion and show what “agent” really means across the Microsoft stack. You’ll see live examples of six agent types in action: how they’re built, who they’re for, and how they fit together.

Expect real demos, practical takeaways, and zero fluff. Perfect for builders who want to understand Microsoft’s new agentic landscape and how to design scalable, secure agent ecosystems.

A look under the hood of how AI can streamline banking operations. From document processing models to workflow automation, we’ll discuss what worked, what didn’t, and what we learned along the way.

Let’s be honest: your mind is f*cked. Overloaded, overstimulated, and drowning in an endless to-do list. Everything needed to be done yesterday, you’re pulled in a hundred directions, and somewhere along the way, you forgot what actually matters.

We’re bombarded with notifications, meetings, and meaningless busywork. AI is making it worse—spitting out endless streams of generic, forgettable content. We move faster and produce more, but are we actually creating anything worth remembering?

The result? Mediocre, half-assed outcomes. Not just in your work, but everywhere—your company, your customers, your career. We’re all stuck in this cycle, rushing to meet deadlines we didn’t set, for work that isn’t great, while convincing ourselves that speed equals value.

This session is about breaking that cycle. It’s about unf*cking your mind so you can focus on what actually matters—and finally build something you’re proud of.

After this session, you will:

-> Know how to unf*ck your brain and work like a person, not a machine.
-> Know how to spot the fake urgency that’s keeping you from real progress
-> Build the best product or service you’ve ever created
-> Tell the difference between what’s actually important and what only seems important

One of the first and most important decisions for a new low-code developer working with AI is where to start: Copilot Studio or Azure AI Foundry. The paradox is that at the very beginning of your career, you may not yet know the criteria for comparing these products, the challenges you’ll face when using them, or which other Azure or Power Platform services you’ll need to deliver a successful project.

This session is designed to clarify those choices. It’s framed as a friendly family chess match between Katerina Chernevskaya (MVP BizApps), and Artem Chernevskiy (MVP Azure AI Foundry). In this playful match, each chess piece represents a Microsoft product we use to build our solutions.

Join us for an engaging format, numerous practical demos, and a clear goal and outcome for your time. By the end, you’ll know which questions to ask and how to choose between Copilot Studio and Azure AI Foundry for your specific project.

Most Power Platform makers immediately think canvas apps and Power Automate when they hear the platform name. But you're probably only scratching the surface of the platform. This session challenges the "why complicate things with code?" mindset and shows you the most important pro-code capabilities you've probably heard mentioned but never dove into (PCF controls, custom connectors, Dataverse plugins, etc.).

Through quick examples like bulk data processing or legacy API integration where low-code hits the wall, you'll understand what's possible and recognize when you need these tools. Brief demos will illustrate when PCF controls, plugins, and connectors become necessary and how they complement your existing solutions. The learning curve is real, but so is the potential to see what becomes possible when you know these capabilities exist.

You won't master these concepts and tools in 45 minutes, but you'll leave with the knowledge of what you don't know, the confidence to take the next step, and clear recommendations on which pro-code capability to tackle first.

Custom pages: we’ve been building them, tweaking them, fighting with them… and just when we think we’ve got them figured out, along comes Generative Pages. Are they here to save us from endless fiddling, or are they just that flashy intern who talks big but can’t quite deliver yet? Are they a redefinition of what Low-Code means for Power Platform? One thing is certain Generative Pages and the Generative AI behind it will have a huge impact on the future of development around Power Platform, but it's also still the beginning. So now is the perfect time to start getting into this topic!

There is a lot to discuss and think about! So join us in this session, and we will show you:
⭐ What Generative Pages actually are (spoiler: no, they don’t read your mind… yet).
🔥 A live demo so you can see how it behaves today.
🏁 A head-to-head comparison with custom pages – who wins, who cries.
🔎 A brutally honest take on maturity, use cases, and what’s still missing before you can trust it in production.
❓ Our best guesses what the future will hold and what the future of Low-Code will mean for Power Platform.

If you’re curious about whether Generative Pages will actually make your life easier — or just give you another reason to rant on LinkedIn — this is the session for you. Knowledge of Custom Pages is not required for this interactive session, where we want to give you an introduction to Generative Pages and get you involved when discussing what Low-Code will be in the future!

“I’m just a little tired…” - Deadlines, working late, speding weekends in front of the screen, and balancing family life can be exhausting. We all know this in IT...
