MirrorSync 7 is the most significant upgrade since 2019. This version features dramatic performance improvements, seamless iOS app store deployment and versioning, initial syncs that run in the background with email notifications, and a new FileMaker database with a history of every sync. Jesse Barnum, President of 360Works and primary developer for MirrorSync, will demonstrate some of the new features, and encourages questions and suggestions from the group.

Many developers admit that they struggle with the challenge of designing FileMaker Pro layouts and user interfaces. Why? The tools have certainly improved since the 1980's, but customer expectations have matured rapidly, particularly with the advent of mobile devices and the apps that people use for business and personal productivity.

This presentation by Dennis Burnham explores the entire FMP "toolbox" with illustrations of techniques you can begin using immediately. Included will be attention to all platforms: Windows, Mac, iOS, and Web Direct.

Burnham ha earned the new "Expert" certification and brings to FileMaker his decades of graphic design experience in a previous career using Illustrator, Photoshop and Quark Xpress.

Easily integrate your FileMaker solutions with popular cloud-based services—no complicated custom APIs, no tokens, and no storing of credentials. This low-code approach works whether your app is a single-user setup or hosted on FileMaker Server, making powerful integrations accessible to everyone.

Join presenter Jillian Harman as she demonstrates real-world examples connecting to QuickBooks, ChatGPT, and other popular services. Demo files and ready-to-use automation blueprints will be available for attendees.

Join the Proof+Geist team as they demo OttoFMS, their free tool that extends the abilities of your FileMaker Server. They'll walk through the basics of OttoFMS (aka all the things FIleMaker Server Otto do) like file deployments between servers, webhooks, offsite backups, and simple Data and Admin API usage. They'll also discuss some of the superpowers OttoFMS enables, such as self-updating applications, multi-server management in the Ottomatic Cloud Console, complex deployment patterns with OttoDeploy, and even simple web-app development using ProofKit.

Delve into how AI can transform real-world applications by adding substantial value and functionality. This talk will showcase two **production-ready AI implementations**: enhancing film script analysis and automating UI code generation.

We'll discuss how our AI-powered tools are currently used in the film industry to analyze scripts more effectively, helping professionals improve their workflows and make more informed decisions. I'll detail the techniques used to achieve high-quality classifications and the challenges of ensuring AI reliability and accuracy in a dynamic industry environment.

In the realm of software development, we'll explore how generative AI creates sophisticated user interface code, focusing on the strategic use of prompts and local data integration to tailor AI behaviour to specific operational needs.

This presentation is designed to equip you with the knowledge to apply AI strategically in your applications, illustrating through real-world examples how fine-tuning and customization can overcome common challenges and lead to successful, production-ready AI deployments.

A practical introduction to custom web publishing using the FileMaker Data API. Ron Glen Cates of RGC Data will be covering essential steps like setting up a development environment and understanding key considerations such as performance and security. Ron will also introduce CWP Snippets, a WordPress plugin developed to simplifys FileMaker integration with WordPress websites, providing an efficient way to manage FileMaker data through the Data API.

In this session Brian Ginn introduces us to UDproAI. UDproAI, developed by Universal Design, Inc., is about to launch as a new tool for FileMaker developers. This tool aids in writing complex calculations and provides real-time validation of results using native FileMaker API calls. By ensuring accuracy and efficiency, UDproAI streamlines the development process, reducing the time and effort spent on debugging and verifying calculations. Universal Design, Inc.'s latest innovation is set to become an essential resource for enhancing reliability and productivity in FileMaker projects.

With FileMaker, as with any development process, consistent conventions are the foundation of good organization. These conventions play a crucial role in supporting collaboration among team members, simplifying the coding process, reducing cognitive load, and ensuring that your future self can easily understand and build upon your work.

Although we will not advocate for specific conventions or standards, John Howell of Data Experience will be demonstrating some well-established and widely accepted conventions. These examples will illustrate how adopting such practices can enhance the overall efficiency and maintainability of your projects.

The main takeaway is not about adhering to a particular set of rules but rather the importance of establishing and consistently applying conventions throughout all aspects of your work. By doing so, you create a structured environment that facilitates better communication, easier troubleshooting, and more streamlined development, ultimately leading to higher quality and more robust outcomes.

Join us to learn how implementing consistent conventions can transform your development process, making it more organized, efficient, and future-proof.

Everybody sells. All the time. We all have ideas, initiatives, perspectives that we want to advance.

Even if you are an engineer within your current role, your ability to listen, build trust, and influence outcomes can unlock new levels of job satisfaction and career success. And your engineering skills will actually help!

In this session, Bill Bennett will walk through a proven four-step framework for engineering your sales process that you can immediately apply to your next big initiative. He will discuss why you need to patiently sit in the pain with your stakeholders, how asking for help and enrolling others shows you where you stand, and how to hold back your demo until the optimal moment for impact.

Attend this session to demystify the process and unpack a few gotchas so that you can engineer your way to enjoyable, predictable, and positive outcomes!
