Elevate 365 is a financial sponsor of PowerAddicts NL this year. PowerAddicts NL is a foundation and runs the Dutch user group for the Microsoft Power Platform and Dynamics 365: Power Apps, Power Automate, Power Pages, Dataverse, Copilot Studio and everything around them.

The group meets roughly every four to six weeks, usually in person at one of its sponsors, and also runs the Dutch edition of the Power Platform Bootcamp. It is organised by volunteers. Venue, catering and the rest of the costs come from hosts and sponsors.

Why we sponsor

When something is good, you support it. Product news is easy enough to find in a release plan or a Microsoft blog post. What you will not find there is what happens once you actually build the thing. At a meetup you hear someone admit their first design got rolled back, or you get a question from the room about solution layering, licensing or a limit you ran into last week yourself. That kind of information only circulates if people bother to share it, and if there is somewhere for them to do that.

We take more out of it than we put in. Part of what we apply at client sites started as a conversation on one of those evenings, or as a demo from someone who had hit the problem before us. Sponsoring is how that stays available without a ticket price or a sales pitch attached.

Practical

The agenda and registration run through poweraddicts.nl. Speaking is open too: you submit a session, or a demo of something you built with the Power Platform. You can also put someone else forward who has built something worth seeing.

If you drop by, come and say hello. We would like to hear what you are working on, and we have plenty of things we have not figured out yet either.
