These are session picks for the content I am most excited to see at this year's Quickbase Empower. This virtual empower runs May 10-11.
Keynotes
It probably goes without saying that most people attending Quickbase Empower will be watching the Keynotes, but I thought I'd mention them anyways. There is always something exciting to see and some good music as well.
Building the Future Keynote | Tuesday, May 10 | 10:45–12:15 pm EDT
Product Keynote | Wednesday, May 11 | 1:00–2:30 pm EDT
There is also a networking session that can be a great place to meet people who are trying to solve the same problems you're working on. I'll likely make it to:
ERG Mix & Mingle | Tuesday, May 10 | 4:00–5:00 pm EDT
Session Block 1
| Date | Tuesday, May 10 |
|---|---|
| Time | 12:30–1:30 pm EDT |
| Description | Learn from the Quickbase Labs team how AI and Machine Learning might help unlock key insights, predictions, and recommendations from the data already in your Quickbase apps. |
| Date | Tuesday, May 10 |
|---|---|
| Time | 12:30–1:30 pm EDT |
| Description | Design your app to be secure, scalable, and maintainable. You will eventually have many tables and relationships, and hundreds (or thousands) of fields and reports, so naming, organization, and planning for growth is key. This session will help you establish a set of guidelines for maintaining your apps and elevating the user experience |
Session Block 2
| Date | Tuesday, May 10 |
|---|---|
| Time | 2:30–3:30 pm EDT |
| Description | Do you have an app that you feel has too much complexity in its tables and relationships? Have you been challenged in deciding what relationships you need to create? In this session we will explore how builders end up with unnecessary relationships, how to identify lineage in our relationships, and how lineage can declutter and streamline your app. |
Session Block 3
| Date | Wednesday, May 11 |
|---|---|
| Time | 11:00–12:00 pm EDT |
| Description | Learn about the newest feature to the Quickbase Product: Plugins! Plugins will provide another mechanism to deliver more value to customers. They will be configurable by builders (much like pipelines) to add new functionality to your apps such as Gantt charts, document generation, and much much more. Learn how you will soon be able to add fully interactive Gantt charts to your apps to better manage complex project management use cases. Learn how you can design beautiful output templates and output your data in Word and PDF formats. Come get a peek at our future plan and ideas for plugins, as well as provide some valuable feedback to the team. |
| Date | Wednesday, May 11 |
|---|---|
| Time | 11:00–12:00 pm EDT |
| Description | Change is inevitable, especially in the world of technology. Learn strategies for getting your users excited about the changes you're driving, onboarding users into your Quickbase app and continuing to engage with your users after your app has launched. You'll walk away from this session with tangible tools that you can immediately apply to your next Quickbase app build. |
| Date | Wednesday, May 11 |
|---|---|
| Time | 11:00–12:00 pm EDT |
| Description | We're evolving existing Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) capabilities so that you can develop Quickbase apps in line with enterprise practices and regulations. This will also provide the tools you need to safely change apps already in production. In this session, we'll talk in-depth about our code solution that we'll roll out first and share the vision for our no-code solution that will follow. |
Session Block 4
| Date | Wednesday, May 11 |
|---|---|
| Time | 2:45–3:45 pm EDT |
| Description | Quickbase Chief Commercial Officer Mike McGuinness sits down with Amazon logistics team members Michelle Leporatti, Sarah Driscoll, Maria Elwin and Anthony Offredi for a roundtable discussion on how business-led development is thriving at AMZL. With 80 new apps and 60 trained builders in under a year, the team has been able to grow the Quickbase platform in a secure, controlled way while empowering business users to do solve business problems in innovative ways. Join us for a discussion around scale, governance, integrated data and enabling diversity in development. |
| Date | Wednesday, May 11 |

New forms will enable you to create intuitive, multi-step workflows that scale to serve the most complex data-entry needs. Come see what the product roadmap looks like for new forms, and share your ideas and feedback with our product team. |
| Date | Wednesday, May 11 |
|---|---|
| Time | 2:45–3:45 pm EDT |
| Description | Have you ever wished that you could build an entire app with the click of a button? How about building your own customized Data Warehouse that leverages data in your company's on-premises servers? During this session you'll learn to combine the strengths of multiple different tools like Quickbase Pipelines, Webhooks, and APIs, to unlock creative solutions for use cases that you may not have thought were possible. We'll show you how this idea led to a use case involving free third-party software working in conjunction with the Quickbase APIs to create and then populate an entire app using only SQL queries. You'll also hear about scenarios where new fields, tables, or even apps need to be created and updated automatically. Join us to find out if you too could already have all the tools you need to take your ideas to the next level. |
Session Block 5
| Date | Wednesday, May 11 |
|---|---|
| Time | 4:00–5:00 pm EDT |
| Description | Come join our Product team to learn about where Quickbase pipelines is headed. We'll cover how we're bringing Quickbase apps and Quickbase pipelines closer together, new channels, key governance improvements, a reimagined "pipelines builder" experience, and more. You'll walk away with a solid understanding of how your no-code integration & automation super powers are going to get even stronger throughout the next year! |
