The last day of the European Power Platform Conference kicked off with an amazing keynote by Pellegrino Riccardi that set the tone for the rest of the day. We highlight the sessions that we went to throughout the day, hit the pause button for a little while, and then we revealed the date and location for next year's #EPPC! Thank you to both the organizers and the #PowerAddicts that made this a great conference - we are already looking forward to the next one!
