Power Apps logic made easy: Smarter development with Named Formulas & User Defined Functions

Power Apps developers often struggle with duplicated logic, difficult maintenance, and performance bottlenecks. When a single formula is repeated across multiple screens, even a small update can require dozens of manual changes, increasing complexity and the risk of errors 🤯 Why does this matter? Poorly structured apps become hard to debug, slow to load, and frustrating to scale. Without a centralized way to manage business logic, apps become fragile and inefficient, leading to wasted development time and poor user experiences. 📝 This session will introduce Named Formulas (NF) and User Defined Functions (UDF) - two powerful tools that can supercharge your Power Apps by reducing redundancy, improving maintainability, and optimizing performance. You’ll learn: - What Named Formulas and User Defined Functions are. - How they work and when to use each. - Real-world examples of performance improvements. - Best practices to structure app logic efficiently. By the end of this session, you’ll have a clear strategy for managing complex logic in Power Apps, allowing you to build apps that are faster, cleaner, and easier to maintain. Key Takeaways: ✅ Eliminate repetitive formulas across multiple screens using Named Formulas. ✅ Make your logic reusable and parameter-driven with User Defined Functions. ✅ Improve app performance and maintainability with centralized logic. ✅ Avoid common pitfalls and leverage best practices for a scalable Power Apps architecture. Join this session to level up your Power Apps skills and transform the way you handle logic! 🚀

Measure Twice, Build Once: Designing Robust AI Agents with Copilot Studio

Building AI agents sounds easy - until you need them to do something real. Generic answers, clunky handoffs, and frustrating logic gaps kill user trust fast. In this hands-on workshop, we’ll go far beyond hello-world bots to build intelligent, grounded, and enterprise-ready agents using Microsoft Copilot Studio. Most agents fail because they’re designed without the right grounding, orchestration, or lifecycle in mind. Business users expect natural, helpful conversations - but what they get is often a brittle script with no memory, no flow, and no flexibility. Users need trust! We’ll fix that by doing the right user adoption! This workshop is for anyone tired of duct-taping flows and prompts together, and ready to build agents that truly understand, act, and improve over time. Through a mix of theory and deep hands-on labs, you’ll learn how to: •⁠ ⁠Design strong foundations with modular agent logic •⁠ ⁠Build dynamic flows with real conversation patterns •⁠ ⁠Use your own models (BYOM) and AI Builder Prompts for custom intelligence •⁠ ⁠Ground responses using Azure AI Search to avoid hallucinations •⁠ ⁠Test and debug with confidence in Copilot Studio Kit •⁠ ⁠Navigate licensing and deployment like a pro •⁠ ⁠Leverage the Copilot Studio Kit for extensibility and control By the end of the day, you won’t just understand how Copilot Studio works - you’ll have built agents that are actually ready for the real world.
