The Wesleyan has again kindly agreed to host our event at Colmore Circus, Queensway, Birmingham, B4 6AR. This is next to Snow Hill Station and a short walk from New Street Station.

Our full agenda includes two great presentation topics...

Presentation One
Logic Apps - Saint and Sinners Tour

For one night only @Joe Gill (the legendary Irish MVP) will perform... "Logic Apps - Saint and Sinners Tour".

Learn how you can use Logic Apps to rapidly create low code integration solutions between Dynamics 365 and other platforms.

Logic Apps is Microsoft Flow's big brother aimed at the professional developer typically for B2B integration.  Logic Apps is one of Azure serverless services which allows you to concentrate on implementing your integration without worrying about scalability.

Joe will demonstrate a variety of usage integration scenarios including demos of Logic Apps, Node, Cognitive Services, Service Bus Queues, Flow, Data Gateway, SQL Server, Dynamics Plugins, etc. Joe will share tips from his years of experience at the coalface integrating a variety of platforms.

Presentation Two

Including showing you how you can segment your contacts and target them with tailored email messages. Additionally, we'll see how subscription centers can be used to ensure you meet any compliance rules.

In part two, @Lucy Muscat will explain the benefits of Dynamics 365 for Marketing contrasting it to the competition (namely, Click Dimensions.)
