Highlights without the hype! This fast‑moving session breaks down the most important changes in 2026 Release Wave 1 for Dynamics 365 CE and the Power Platform; what’s new, what’s improved, what’s deprecated, and what might break if you’re not ready. Join me as we distill the 900‑page release into a practical briefing that separates the need‑to‑know, the nice‑to‑know, and the parts nobody has time for, so you can get informed and get back to everything else on your plate.

You've Downloaded Your Last Zip: ALM Pipelines in 3 Levels for Dynamics and the Power Platform
Say goodbye to manual exports, brittle zip files, and deployment roulette. In this session, we’ll break down ALM pipelines across three practical levels of complexity from the simplest built‑in pipelines to fully automated, enterprise‑grade deployment flows. You’ll learn how to start small, scale your process as your team grows, and eventually eliminate zip‑driven deployments entirely. Whether you're modernizing your ALM approach or trying to clean up years of “Zip it and ship it,” you’ll leave with clear patterns, guardrails, and next steps for moving to reliable, repeatable, pipeline‑powered deployments.
