I am so SO excited to annouce that I have been accepted to speak at the largest technology conference in the world, Salesforce’s Dreamforce conference in San Francisco. I will be co-speaking with my very good friend old Winklebeard himself (René Winkelmeyer). This opportunity is all down to him and I will be forever grateful. René became a Salesforce Evangelist back in May 2016. While we were at Engage.ug back in March this year we hatched a far fetched plan to be able to speak together and who’d have thought our world would have come together outside of the IBM Bubble.

We are going to talk about using Office Add-Ins to integrate with Salesforce. We are going to go well beyond the out of the box Office Add-Ins which Salesforce make available and show developers how to create their own from scratch. There will be lots of cool demonstrations, and hopefully we will both make it off stage without killing each other 🙂

I am really excited !!

Title
Unleashing the power with Salesforce and Microsoft Office 365 Add-ins

Abstract
Salesforce has created great out-of-the box integrations for Office 365. But have you ever thought about creating your own integrations for maximising your Salesforce and Office investments? That’s where Office 365 Add-ins and Lightning come to the rescue. Based on real-world scenarios you’ll learn in this session all about the “how” and “where” of connecting Office and Salesforce. After starting with needed authentication setups between the systems we’ll quickly dive deep into the programmatic aspects. Be it RESTful or Lightning Out, we’ll get you covered! Come and see the session where Mark and René will demonstrate custom integration between Salesforce and Office applications on all platforms. Source code will be provided for all examples shown.
