![Powering the [Full Access] Experience: FileMaker-to-Web and Mobile with CWP Snippets, WordPress and React](https://fullaccess.us/wp-content/uploads/fa_2026/presentations/il7a41/video-image-th.png?v=63920482106)
Extend FileMaker to web and mobile with the Data API, WordPress, React, and intelligent caching. Reduce server load, manage cache updates, share media, and keep FileMaker as the authoritative source.
Most of us have hit a wall using AI in FileMaker — AI just doesn’t seem to have a way in — but a few hidden doorways have been there all along. This session previews working methods that find a way through, with AI producing real scripts, tables and fields, even layouts and relationships directly in your file.

Fri | 1:30 pm - 2:30 pm
AI has changed the economics of software development, putting FileMaker’s role up for debate. Leading community voices consider what it offers and what developers should do next.
Our offsite backups for our Linux FileMaker Servers used to take hours — not because of how much data we had, but because rsync has to walk tens of thousands of individual container files to find what changed. This session walks through how we rebuilt that pipeline for speed and resilience using advanced filesystems.

Agentic development brings AI coding agents like Claude Code and Cursor directly into your FileMaker workflow.

Fri | 4:30 pm - 5:30 pm
Once you're past the basics, agentic development with FileMaker opens up serious possibilities, and this session goes deep.

Sun | 9:30 am - 10:30 am
Track user activity in FileMaker the same way Google Analytics tracks web site visitors. Spot performance problems, security flaws, and which areas of your system are most/least used by your users. “If you can not measure it, you can not improve it."

Has every FileMaker conference started to feel like an AI conference with a little FileMaker mixed in? Before every problem needed an AI solution, FileMaker developers were building surprisingly sophisticated interfaces with nothing more than creativity and the features built right into the platform. Let's take a break and rediscover how much fun you can have with the tools that have been sitting in FileMaker all along.

Sun | 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
Think FileMaker in a browser is exclusive to WebDirect or Go on Mac? - NOT! - This session tells the story of building the official companion app for the Full Access conference as a true cross-platform native mobile app, powered by a FileMaker backend. Not FileMaker Go. Not WebDirect. A real app running on modern devices, using APIs, JSON, and a practical architecture that proves FileMaker can reach a lot further than many people think.

Claris engineer Clay Maeckel joins plugin developers like Jesse Barnum and Christian Schmitz, inviting you to this [Full Access] exclusive under-the-hood meeting to answer the kinds of questions mainly deep dive developers (such as plugin programmers) would want to know.
