7 Things About Power Platform I’d Share with My Younger Self
Tomáš will share his experience with developing small applications and huge transformative solutions. He will introduce us to specific client experiences with both Power Apps and Power BI. His session will offer valuable insights for managers who plan to maximize the potential of the Power Platform in their organizations (or are already working on it).
From creating small apps for a few users to driving critical transformations for thousands, Tomáš will candidly discuss his experiences, highlighting the good, the bad, and even the hair-raising moments.
But Tomáš won’t be alone on stage. He’ll be joined by Jakub Svárovský from Lasvit, a company that has embraced applications and services from multiple providers on the Power Platform, all while building up their in-house IT capabilities.
Together, Tomáš Prokop and Jakub Svárovský will delve into the successes and challenges faced by Lasvit during their Power Platform implementation journey. You’ll gain insights on supplier selection, project assignment preparation, system integration, adapting to continuous changes, and other valuable experiences.
How Power Platform helps to train aviation professionals
Can Power Platform help teach pilots to fly airplanes? Can Power Platform play a pivotal role in these cases?
This conference session will shed light on CATC (Czech Aviation Training Centre) and its journey to enhance pilot and technical personnel training. Situated at Prague’s Václav Havel Airport, CATC boasts a modern training center equipped with advanced simulators, and they’ve recently integrated Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Power Platform technologies into their operations.
CATC’s mission is to train professionals in the aviation industry and the broader public, encompassing pilots, flight attendants, and mechanics at various certification levels. Until recently, managing student records, course logistics, and valuable technical resources was a complex task due to fragmented systems.
However, with the introduction of Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, Power Pages, and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales, in collaboration with Konica Minolta IT Solutions Czech consultants, CATC’s processes have undergone a remarkable transformation. In this conference session, we will delve into what prompted CATC to embrace these technologies, the challenges they navigated, the effective solutions deployed, and the tangible benefits realized by CATC.

When Power BI Outgrows: How We Managed the Expansion of Power BI at LINET Group
Any company can easily find itself in a situation where their Power BI Service content (data, reports, applications) expands to the point where it becomes impossible to monitor what is actually happening in the tenant.
Who publishes what, where? What is being exported? Where is sensitive data located? Is it possible that some data has been made public? Does anyone have a comprehensive overview of all this?
LINET Group was well aware of these risks. The content gradually expanded, and we had to avoid potential chaos. Together, we embarked on a project aimed at eliminating any danger while:
- Increasing customer satisfaction
- Keeping know-how within the company
- Guaranteeing long-term data security
- Ensuring the reliable delivery of Power BI artifacts
Štěpán, along with Ondřej Pechar and Jan Baierl from LINET Group, will open the discussion on Power BI Governance and explain how the implementation of specific policies can lead to accelerated data and report deliveries, improved security in all processes, enhanced process management, and regular monitoring.

Silence of the technical lambs: When you don’t speak up for user experience
How exciting is it to design your first home? You get to personalize it and make it a perfect fit for your lifestyle. Just like that, you can also create a business application to suit your users’ needs. A grand design to connect them to the business vision.
But what if your business application was put together based on decision-makers’ egos? What if they did not understand their end users’ needs and your app development team decided to stay silent? Despite the best intentions for your grand design, it all goes wrong. So, you are stuck in endless retrospectives, tech debt in your future sprints, and some very disappointed stakeholders.
In this session, let us take you through a tour of our digital app dollhouse where things have gone all sorts of wrong for users. From low adoption to jargon-filled custom fields to inconsistent process flows and anything in between, we are here to explain it all. A cautionary tale for all your business application projects. Remember, all good things are to those who wait.

How Can Microsoft Fabric Have an Impact on Your Business?
All this talk about Data-Ware-Lake-Delta-Beach-House-Lakes (or some combination of that) and Data, Yarn, Fabric integration, everything has got a bit… Meshy! Yes, my friends. The beat of the technology drum is certainly relentless. And with no limits to cloud scale and huge innovations from the biggest brains. Two years, it seems, have become the benchmark for tools to live and die by. Reach three years and you almost have a mature product. That said, Microsoft Fabric, the latest offering from the global software giant is no exception.
But what does this mean for the real world? For the data analysts, engineers, and scientists that need to continue answering everyday problems to inform business decisions.
In this session, we will firmly ignore the hype and focus on reality. With the pragmatic view of an experienced architect. The problem of gaining insights from our data hasn’t changed. So, what does this mean if implemented using Microsoft Fabric? What, why, and how is the tooling going to change our daily deliverables in the short term, medium and long term? Join me for these answers and more as we explore the impact of Microsoft Fabric-Server, erm, and Power. Resource. Thing!

Power Up Your Power BI: Unlock the Magic of Automation with PowerShell and become a data wizard
Do you consider yourself a Power BI developer, but the thought of coding, PowerShell, and cmdlets makes you freeze? Do you think that Power BI is a powerful tool, but feel like something is missing? Are you tired of spending hours manually publishing, updating, and maintaining your Power BI reports? Want to add some fun and reduce errors, while you sit back and relax? The answer you seek is here. I’ll show you how to harness the power of PowerShell to automate your Power BI workflow and take you out of your comfort zone.
In this session, I will take you through the journey of how to use PowerShell scripts to automate common Power BI tasks, from report deployments to data refreshes, parameter changes, and security management. I’ll show you how to navigate the “danger zone” of coding in PowerShell and take your Power BI game to the next level, even for those who are new to it. With some real-life business use cases that I’ve come across, you’ll see how automation can simplify your daily Power BI tasks.

Double Power: Power BI and Power Apps Integration
Power BI is an exceptional interactive reporting tool, while Power Apps excels as a business application development tool. Individually, they boast great capabilities, but their true power emerges when used in tandem.
By combining Power Apps and Power BI, you unlock unparalleled potential. Power Apps bridges the gap in Power BI by enabling data writing into data sources. Conversely, Power BI reports in Power Apps empower business users to transform data into actionable insights directly within the app.
This session will demonstrate step-by-step instructions and numerous demos on leveraging these tools together. Afterward, you’ll possess the knowledge and skills to seamlessly integrate them, unlocking their full potential for your business.
