Also note that there is no way to filter by speaker names or even view them unless you click on each session one by one… So please comment if you have an accepted session so we can celebrate and make sure it is on our tentative agendas.

Hallie Guiseppe

What a fantastic idea! Thank you for posting.

I'm presenting this from my bbdevdays session

Making RE NXT Your Own: A Hands‑On Demo of SKY Add-in Customization

SKY Add-ins offer a powerful but often underused way to extend the RE NXT interface with custom content. In this demo‑driven session, you'll learn how to enhance RE NXT by embedding full-screen information directly inside the application using standard add-in techniques.
We’ll walk through a real example of bringing an Event Calendar Power BI report into the RE NXT workspace and discuss how similar approaches can be used to surface Adaptive Cards, custom HTML elements, and other external content. The focus will be on practical implementation—what’s possible, how it works, and simple patterns you can reuse to bring richer, more interactive experiences to your RE NXT users.

Sunshine Reinken Watson

The list has been updated to include @Alex Wong's session and the session led by @Shelby Lewis, @Hallie Guiseppe, @Nicole Holt, and @Dan Snyder.

Congrats to everyone who has a confirmed session! Keep them coming!

Elizabeth Johnson

Can't wait to watch this list grow!
