19:30pm- Wireframes to Wow: Building Beautiful Power BI Dashboards in Minutes
Speaker: Duncan Boyne
“Can you build us a management dashboard?” a simple ask that can spiral into chaos.
In this fast-paced, hands-on session, I’ll take you from that initial request to a finished, polished Power BI report, all in just 45 minutes.
We’ll start with a basic SQL database, three brand colours, and the goal of building something efficient, repeatable, and ready to wow. Along the way, you’ll see how templating and wireframing aren’t just for designers, they’re the secret to faster builds, cleaner visuals, and happier stakeholders. You’ll Learn How To:

• Build reusable Power BI templates that scale
• Use layout grids, brand colours, and typography to make visuals pop
• Translate stakeholder requests into clear wireframes
• Turn Figma mock-ups into live, working dashboards
