18:30pm- Hello World, Goodbye Syntax: Vibe Coding React Apps on Power Platform
Speaker: Josh Giles

"Vibe Coding" is the practice of forgetting the code exists and focusing purely on the flow. Until recently, this was a fantasy for Pro-Coders. Now, it is a reality in the Power Platform.
This session is a deep dive into Power Apps Code Apps and the AI-native capability that turns prompts into React-based web applications. We will leave the Canvas Studio behind and "Vibe Code" a solution. You will learn:
The Stack: Understanding what code apps actually builds.
The Workflow: How to orchestrate the "Plan -> Data -> App" lifecycle using only conversational AI.
The Reality Check: How to review the generated code for Accessibility and performance constraints so your "vibe" doesn't become technical debt.

19:15pm- Break, food and networking
