About us

Richmond PowR is a modern Microsoft builders meetup.
Power BI. Power Automate. Power Apps. Copilot. SharePoint. PowerShell. Fabric. Microsoft 365. Azure. Data. Automation. Low-code. Pro-code.
This is not a conference. It’s a working session.
We kick off with a tight 15-minute lightning drop — something sharp and practical:
• Copilot in Power Platform
• Fabric + Power BI modeling
• DAX tricks and semantic models
• Power Automate flows (cloud + desktop)
• SharePoint automation and governance
• PowerShell scripting for M365
• API integrations
• Dataverse architecture
• Hybrid low-code / pro-code patterns
• Automation design patterns
• Security + compliance realities
• Real-world deployment lessons
Then we build.
Bring your real problem:
– Automating approvals
– Replacing manual workflows
– Designing dashboards
– Writing scripts
– Connecting systems
– Hardening governance
– Scaling internal tools
– Modernizing reporting
– Making Copilot actually useful

We sit near each other and build.
We troubleshoot weird flows. Sketch scrappy architectures. Refactor messy automations.

Tune DAX. Test ideas. Argue (politely) about tradeoffs. Steal each other’s shortcuts.
Fabric patterns. Crafty data pipelines. Clever PowerShell. Flexible Power Automate.

Fast Power Apps. Smarter Power BI. Copilot experiments that may or may not behave.
This is for curious analysts, engineers, architects, operators, consultants — anyone shaping things inside Microsoft 365, SharePoint, Fabric, Azure, and the Power Platform.
Richmond-based. Hands-on. A little quirky.

Less slide deck. More Power.
