We had an amazing time at the Nordic Summit 2024 at the Hub in Oslo. Ulrikke has been part of the planning committee and was a part of the opening keynote. Nick and Ulrikke were some of the hosts for the Nordic Summit podcast during the event but also made sure to attend some of the many amazing sessions. 

The sessions we talked about

• How to destroy your Power Pages site in 5 easy steps by Morten Krosby-Sæther
• Streamlining environment lifecycles with Power Platform CLI & Azure DevOps by Yannick Reekmans
• My Red Cross on Power Pages with Ulrikke Akerbæk, Ida Holdhus, Magnus Jacobsen
• Plug-In to the Future: Low-Code vs. Pro-Code Showdown in Dataverse, with Wilmer Alcivar and Ben den Blanken
• It's Power Automate not Power Integrate 😬by Mats Necker
• 10 Power FX tricks that you didn't know you needed with Jon Vöge and Chris Hansen
• Unblock AI with Purview with Chris Huntingford
• Being bold: The human side of fusion team delivery with Nick Doelman and Arill Andre Aam

Catch session descriptions and other resources at nordicsummit.info

Ulrikke had loads of fun wrapping up the day with a Gameshow together with Magnus Sørensen. They threw gifts at people and had quizzes like "Guess the logo" and "Is it dead yet" with attendees from the audience matched with MVPs. Nordic Summit has a very special and unique vibe, everyone seemed to be having an amazing time. For Nordic Summit 2025, the event is going back to Sweden, and we hope we will see you there
