Reconnect.Sydney Session Topics Now Online

/0 Comments/in , /by

The list of session topics and speakers for the Reconnect.Sydney 2023 Claris FileMaker Developer conference is now on the Reconnect.Sydney website (some speaker profiles are still being loaded). It includes both speakers from Claris (APAC and USA) and experienced developers in the APAC community. We’re excited to announce that Databuzz will be a conference sponsor this year and I will also be giving a talk on ‘A Beginner’s Guide to the FileMaker OData API’.

We now have 9 companies sponsoring the conference – I’d like to thank the sponsors from outside the APAC region in particular for their support, including FMTraining.tv, Monkeybread Software, Productive Computing University and Proof+Geist. Special thanks to Claris for being the Principle Sponsor as well and helping make this conference a reality.

Tickets can be purchased via the Reconnect.Sydney website – remember sales are limited to the first 200 people so don’t leave it too late to purchase your ticket as we do expect this event to be sold out. There is an early bird discount for purchases before 30 June ($219) which reverts to $249 after that date. Your ticket also includes lunch, morning and afternoon teas over both days.

I look forward to meeting up with members of the Claris FileMaker Developer Community once again in July. If you would like a demonstration of any of our Claris FileMaker integrations solutions for Xero, DocuSign, QuickBooks Online, WooCommerce, Shopify, or SMS/MMS messaging at the conference please get in touch or reach out at the conference.

Let’s Reconnect at Reconnect.Sydney 2023

It’s hard to believe that it’s been more than three years since the Claris FileMaker Community in the APAC region had their last developer gathering back in 2019. From speaking with many developers in the region over the past few months it’s clear that the community is keen to gather in-person once again like we last did at the International Convention Centre in Sydney in October 2019.

Over the past few weeks a small group of Claris Partners have been working on plans for our next gathering – checking out venues, finalising dates, building a website and working out how to handle ticket sales etc. I’m pleased to report that we now have a date, a venue and a new name for our next in-person gathering: Reconnect.Sydney 2023.

Reconnect.Sydney 2023 will be held at the Wesley Conference Centre in Sydney from Thursday July 20th to Friday July 21st. Like the last APAC DevCon we plan on having 2 full days of sessions – details of the sessions and speakers are still be finalised. We also plan on having a social event on the Thursday evening and a Claris Partners meeting on the Wednesday. If you are interested in submitting a speaker proposal please use the contact form on the event website.

The website is now live and you can purchase your ticket – if you plan on attending I’d recommend that you purchase your ticket ASAP as sales are limited to the first 200 people. There is an early bird discount for purchases before 30 June ($219) which reverts to $249 after that date. Your ticket also includes lunch, morning and afternoon teas over both days.

I look forward to meeting up with members of the Claris FileMaker Developer Community once again in July. We’re still working on sponsorship plans and hopefully Databuzz will once again have an exhibitors booth where we can demonstrate our Claris FileMaker integrations solutions for Xero, WooCommerce, Shopify, QuickBooks Online, DocuSign and more.

There will also be a session covering Claris Connect that was recently announced at the US FileMaker DevCon which will be very popular.

You can view the full program and register at the APAC DevCon website – the cost for is only AUD $199 which includes 2 full days of sessions, morning/afternoon tea and catered lunch.

You can catch the Databuzz Vendor Session on Day One at 4pm and my talk on Webhooks – The ABC of Webhooks – is on Day Two at 2.15pm.
