Planning for events is a stressful time in any company. Drawing up campaigns on whiteboards during meetings and then having to transfer all that information to various business applications to actually execute on them. Having to do everything manually just to start over again for the next event.

There is a lot of marketing automation tools available on the market, just as many for analyzing the data and social media. But the issue that always seems to surface is how to choose the right options that make sense both for you as a campaign manager but also to the financial department.

Vivian will show you how you can automate your campaigns by using various Microsoft tools that companies already are using or should be to bring all your data to the same platform. Combining Dynamics 365 Marketing together with MS Teams and Power Pages makes it possible for your Marketing department to be in control of the whole process while also having our data in one place.

Automate your Marketing flows using Dynamics 365 Marketing, MS Teams and Power Pages

There are so many options to choose from if you want to meet with people in Teams. Do you use a meeting, live event or webinar? What about the lobby? What about policies and options?
In this session we will look at different scenario's that you can implement in your organisation: from a 1 on 1 performance meeting to an all hands townhall meeting.

How to organize the right Teams meetings: Practical scenario's and implementations

Microsoft recently introduced Power Platform Piplines and wants to simplify application life management for Power Platform solutions. In addition, it has been possible to set up DevOps pipelines for Power Platform solutions for quite some time.
The question arises, which method should be used when?
My session is intended to provide a basic understanding of the two approaches. Shows that both approaches can be seamlessly integrated into the governance and ALM strategy of your own company. Conveys how both technologies work. What advantages and disadvantages they offer in use.
This should enable the visitors of the session to weigh both technologies for the use in their own company.

Power Platform Pipelines or DevOps Pipelines

The Microsoft Power Platform can optimize and automate business processes considerably, and therefore simplify the daily workflows of end users. The implementation of the Power Platform, however, results in enormous changes, both for IT departments and for employees, which are not necessarily visible at first glance and can hamper success.

Antje Lamartine and Andreas Schlueter will share their experience about the biggest challenges, how to address them, and how to plan a sensible rollout. They will wrap up the session with their top 3 implementation tips, which will help you achieve quick success and unlock high innovation potential in your organization!

Crawl - Walk - Run for a smooth Power Platform implementation? Yes, you can!

The typical response on how to get started governing Power Platform is usually "it depends" - on how you want to use it, who are your stakeholders, what are your objectives and so much more. Unfortunately, most organizations can't answer these questions,
as they would need to know more about platform capabilities, use cases, constraints, and more.

Learn in this session the bare minimum of Power Platform governance:

Basic settings for your default environment to prevent chaos, minimal environment strategy which can be extended later on, Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies to ensure that no one overexposes data.

As a result, these fundamental measures guarantee a smooth and secure start with Power Platform.

The dramatic rise in the number and severity of cyberthreats faced by organizations today has led to a proliferation of countermeasure IT security toolsets. In many cases, these security tools operate independently from each other and can lead to siloed alerting and monitoring making it difficult for IT staff to effectively identify threats and mitigate them before they become major issues.

Microsoft Defender 365 suite of cloud security tools consolidates multiple security toolsets under a single management interface and provides for end-to-end security, allowing administrators to quickly identify and contain threats. Rather than constantly being on the defensive, Defender 365 provides for the ability to proactively hunt for vulnerabilities and potential bad actors while they are still making lateral moves within your environment, allowing IT cybersecurity the ability to stay one step ahead of increasingly sophisticated hackers.

This session takes an in-depth look at the tools that are part of the Microsoft Defender 365 suite, including Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, Microsoft Defender for Identity and more. Discover how to better control, audit, and manage your organization’s data in both the cloud and on-premises infrastructure.

•	Explore the various toolsets and capabilities built into Microsoft 365 Defender, including Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) functionality, endpoint threat detection and management, and sophisticated on-premises real-time threat prevention tools.
•	Examine how real-time threats can overwhelm more traditional threat management systems and how an intuitive ‘single pane of glass’ view of threat detection and management can greatly improve the odds of stopping sophisticated cyberattacks.
•	Understand how Microsoft licensing for Microsoft Defender 365 is structured and how you can take advantage of these security tools for little or even no cost in some scenarios.

Combatting Cyberthreats with Microsoft Defender 365

I have been doing document management with SharePoint for the past 7 years now, and from time to time I still hear that SharePoint is not a document management system. I fully disagree! In this session, I will share my insights about 8 killer features that make SharePoint a valid document management system. Demos included! 

The following document management points are included: 

	• Microsoft Syntex & metadata
	• Document numbering 
	• Commenting
	• Version history and revisions
	• Approvals
	• External sharing
	• Search
	• Security


SharePoint is a full-blooded document management system - and I can prove it!

I would like to share with you the idea of a 'Workflow Generator' that helps users to create multistaged approval workflows without the necessity of knowing Power Automate.

This approach can be utilized during migration from on-premises SharePoint to Microsoft 365, where we should provide users with the ability to recreate SharePoint 2010 workflows with most of their functionalities, and we need to take into consideration that probably only a few percent of the users will be eager to learn Power Automate and recreate workflows on their own from scratch.

Workflow Generator - How users can easily migrate their SharePoint 2010 approval workflows to Microsoft 365.

Microsoft Teams is a robust platform that combines various Microsoft 365 tools to help users manage their daily work. However, the multitude of possibilities within a hybrid workplace can lead to fragmentation and inefficiencies, as users may need to jump back and forth between different tools and systems to complete their tasks. In this talk, we will explore how Blazor, Bots, and the Power Platform can reduce context switching and streamline the day-to-day for your users.  

Our session will provide a comprehensive demo to showcase the capabilities of this approach. By leveraging Blazor for Tabs, we can build custom user interfaces within Teams that streamline workflows and improve usability. Bots automate everyday tasks, reducing the need for users to switch between different apps or interfaces. Moreover, the Power Platform enables the design of custom low-code solutions that meld Teams, other Microsoft 365 tools and third party systems. We will also discuss how these different technologies can be adapted and controlled via a central configuration, making managing and maintaining your Microsoft Teams environment simple. 

Join us, and gain insight into the wide range of Teams as a platform! 

Designing Microsoft Teams experiences using Blazor, Bots, and the Power Platform

I'll share first-hand experience, lessons learned, and tips to overcome common challenges when scaling a Power Platform project.
Attendees can expect to:
- Learn how to identify the right architecture and approach to successfully scale solutions containing Power Apps, Power Automate and Dataverse components.
- Discover best practices for governance, security, and monitoring to maintain control and compliance, when working in a very restrictive environment (financial services industry)
- Gain insights into performance optimization and managing resource consumption to ensure a smooth user experience (e.g. Canvas Apps vs PCF vs Model-Driven)
- Understand how to leverage the latest updates and features of the Power Platform to accelerate growth and development.

Everything sprinkled with a pinch of case studies, along with the challenges we faced and the strategies they used to overcome them.

Whether you're a Power Platform developer, IT professional, or business decision-maker, this session will provide you with invaluable knowledge and practical guidance to scale your Power Platform projects effectively and unlock their full potential.

Join us for this enlightening session and walk away with a wealth of knowledge, practical tips, and inspiration to scale your Power Platform projects with confidence and success.
