Jul 26, 2023

Welcome to the Power Platform Dev Weekly!

Post Inspire makes for a pretty quiet week, outside of reflection and excitement. As well as Inspire, there is another big event on the horizon - Scottish Summit on Tour (in Manchester) 2023 - organized by our very own

Matt Beard

and an amazing team including

Linked365

. Taking place Saturday August 5th in Manchester UK with a very packed schedule and nearly 100 speakers - it’s a sell out but more tickets are being released each day, feel free to join the waiting list and we’d love to see you there!

One other point to note, the podcasts is at the bottom of this weekly post and, understandably, less people read the bottom of the newsletter than the top, so I wanted to highlight a new podcast I’ve been listening to that others will enjoy. Hosted by Microsoft alumni, join Lucy and Janet as they discuss the tech role revolution!
