Elevate 2025 Session Catalog Update

The time and duration of the different sessions are now available.  There is only one track each day, and it runs approximately 2 hours followed by a 2 hour break and then a 5 hour group of sessions.  The session catalog is available here.

For your convenience, I've put together an ICS file that includes all of the sessions.  Also, you should be able to import the calendar from the display below.  Just click on the + marker in the lower right corner.

Note that the product roadmap session is limited to the first 100 participants.  Get there early (but after me 🤣)!

Elevate 2025 Session Catalog now available

The session catalog is now available at: https://www.appeon.com/conference/elevate-2025/sessions

It includes a description of each of the sessions and what day they will occur on.  There's no specific time for any of them yet though.

This year we'll have a bit more opportunity to interact with the presenters.  We'll still be able to chat during the presentation.  But now there will also be a 10 minute zoom Q&A session after each of the presentations.  We did a few Zoom sessions on specific topics last year.  This year it's being expanded to each session.

Missions Trip to Philippines

This was a two week long missions trip with the primary goal of assisting in the launch of a satellite campus of Saddleback Church in Davao, Philippines.  We also had a number of side secondary goals as well which I'll discuss as I go through a recap of the trip.

Elevate 2025 Registration now open

And I was wrong in a previous post when I assumed it would be a one day event.  It's a two day event (Dec 1st and 2nd) with keynotes in the first half of the first day and then tech session for the second half of the first day and the entire second day.  There is a 2 hour break in the middle of the day for people to have online discussion or just take a break.  There isn't a list of sessions yet, just the timeframe.  Hopefully a list of sessions will be made available before the event.

Elevate 2025 Call for Papers

Elevate 2025 will be an online conference on December 1st at 9AM EST.  No word on the duration, so I'm assuming it's a one day event.

The call for papers is now open:  https://www.appeon.com/elevate/call-for-presenters/register

Proposals are due by September 1st.

Elevate 2024 Review

Intro

With 2024, Elevate returns to its previous post-COVID form. A two-day free online event with a call for papers and multiple technical session tracks running concurrently on the second day. This year they ran the Chat Café as 4 separate Zoom sessions running concurrently… more on that later.

Session Catalog is available for Elevate 2024

New this year are 4 separate cafe chat sessions running concurrently after the keynote:

• PowerBuilder 2025
• PowerBuilder Roadmap
• PowerServer
• General Topics

There will be a seperate registration for the cafe chats.  Other than that, the first day (Monday December 2nd) is a single track.  On the second date (Tuesday December 3rd) there will two sessions running concurrently for most of the day.
