Ask Me Anything 'Cause I Know Everything
Presented By:
This interactive roundtable session offers a unique opportunity to tap into the collective wisdom of the FileMaker community in an open, judgment-free environment. Unlike traditional conference sessions with a designated expert presenter, this gathering operates on the principle that knowledge is distributed throughout the community, and everyone has something valuable to contribute.
Session Format
The roundtable is without a formal speaker or structured agenda. Brian is listed formally as the presenter not because he knows everything but it's required for our sessions database. Call Brian in this case a 'Coordinator'. Attendees form a collaborative circle where questions flow naturally and answers emerge from the group's shared experience. Whether you're wrestling with a complex calculation, seeking advice on relationship structures, curious about best practices for deployment, or wondering how others handle specific client scenarios, this is your chance to ask.
Why This Session Matters
Throughout conferences and professional gatherings, many questions go unasked due to time constraints, fear of appearing inexperienced, or concerns about recording permanence. This session removes those barriers. By keeping the discussion unrecorded and off-the-record, participants can speak candidly about real-world challenges, including those tricky situations that don't make it into polished case studies or official documentation.
What to Expect
Bring your curiosities, your half-formed ideas, and your "is this even possible?" scenarios. The diversity of experience in the room—from developers who've been coding since FileMaker was still Nutshell to those bringing fresh perspectives from other platforms—creates a rich problem-solving environment. Topics might range from technical implementation details to business strategy, client management, pricing models, or career development within the FileMaker ecosystem.
This is your community. This is your chance to learn from peers who understand your challenges because they've lived them too (or are just super smart).
