Not a lot of news and updates this time, because this week, we have been busy at MVP Summit in Seattle, and then this weekend we traveled to Vancouver for the Canadian Power Platform Summit. That's two summits in a row! Join us from the AV studio at Microsoft's offices in Vancouver as we chat about the #MVPbuzz of the week that we have had and why we think it's valuable to go to the MVP summit. We also recap the Canadian Power Platform Summit and share our experience with the first of many # CPPSs to come.

Nordic Summit is one of our favorite community events, and this year we're in Copenhagen, Denmark. Nick has fun teaching a workshop on Power Pages on Friday. Today, Saturday, we have enjoyed being with this inclusive bunch of #PowerAddict friends, learning lots of new things, and connecting with the community. 

Between us, we went to these great sessions by some of our favorite speakers:

• 👀 Looking Good, Exciting, and Functional! Power Apps that POP 💥by Mike Hartley
• Connecting to Dataverse: do's, don'ts, and how not to make all your data public by accident by Yannick Reekmans and Mats Necker
• Power Automate Gymnastics: The Dataverse Edition by Amey Holden
• Data Modeling in Dataverse: Where Dinosaurs and Unicorns Meet 🦖🦄💻 by Rebekka Aalbers and Chris Huntingford
• Power Pipelines, Power Platform Build Tools, ALM Accelerator. Oh My! By Jens Schrøder
• Managed Environments - Your secret to success by Carl Cookson

This was also the first time we were presenting on stage together, and we had so much fun on stage presenting on "Top 10 tips and tricks for Power Pages". 

We didn't do a PowerPoint deck, but we did a Power Pages site instead! It's live, and you can reach it at https://top10powerpagestips.powerappsportals.com (until we take the site down and turn it into a blog post)

A big THANK YOU to the amazing people that put this event together. It was great last year and it is even better this year. Already looking forward to Nordic Summit, in Oslo, sometime late September 2024!

This week we have listened to the results of last week's #BOOSTquest poll - and Nick, our new official Time Cop, try to keep us in line - and under 30 minutes. We talk about some of the news and updates around copilots across the platform, and we each get a bit excited :D We also took the time to talk about certifications, ways to prepare for exams, why you should, and different learning styles.

In this episode, Nick tells you everything you need to know about the three big announcements for Power Pages over the past two weeks. Ulrikke makes a mess of iterative empiricism; the topic of Neil Benson's latest episode on the Amazing Applications podcast. Also, no podcast episode without rants 🤪  and going down rabbit holes.

Allow us to introduce the Power Platform BOOST podcast. Nick explains what we are all about and why we decided to create yet another podcast about the Power Platform. We introduce ourselves and talk about how we got here. 

This is the pre-first episode of our podcast which is all about Power Platform news - and yet, in this episode, there are no news or technical briefs of any kind. Ironic? Maybe a bit. If you are looking for the BOOST of news please move on to the first episode of the Power Platform BOOST podcast.
