Rome FileMaker Week Kickoff: Unlocking the Data Vault
Join us for the Rome FileMaker Week Opening Keynote, where we’ll kick off an exciting journey into the world of data!
This keynote sets the stage for our three-day exploration under the theme “Raiders of the Lost FileMaker Database,” blending the ancient art of discovery with modern technological advancements. Get ready for an immersive experience that bridges the past and present, uncovering the hidden treasures within your data.
The theme “Raiders of the Lost FileMaker Database” is a metaphor for the journey we embark on as we dig into our data repositories, searching for hidden gems that can transform our understanding and decision-making processes. Just as archaeologists uncover lost civilizations, we will uncover lost insights buried within our data. This week, we are modern-day raiders, equipped with the tools and knowledge to explore, analyze, and preserve the wealth of information within our FileMaker databases.
Don’t miss this opportunity to start your Rome FileMaker Week with a keynote that promises to inspire, educate, and set the tone for a transformative learning experience. Join us and become a data archaeologist, ready to unlock the secrets of your data vault!
24U and the Dial of FileMaker Destiny [Sponsored session]
Reimagining FileMaker: The Evolution of Oriented-Development PatternsUnlock the secrets of effective development with our session on “FileMaker and the Evolution of Oriented-Development Models”.
Every FileMaker developer, whether they realize it or not, follows a set of mental tools and processes that shape their solutions. These models determine how data is moved—be it through scripts or relationships, global fields or variables, virtual value lists or repeating fields.
Traditionally, many developers follow a classic, yet outdated approach:
- Loop
- Exit loop if [$remaining_budget=0 or $client_angry=1 or $developer_burnout=1 or $project_close=1]
- Talk to the customer
- Develop what they ask for
- Show it to them
- Modify what’s needed
- Deduct hours from the budget
- End Loop
While intuitive and straightforward, this “Design Driven Development” method is becoming increasingly impractical in today’s fast-paced, tech-driven environment. The evolving digital landscape demands more flexibility, versatility, and sustainability than this model can provide.
In this session, we will dive into modern development models that can revolutionize your FileMaker projects. You’ll learn:
- Why adopting new development models is crucial for efficiency and adaptability.
- How to implement strategic data modeling to enhance your solutions.
- The benefits of using reusable components at the script and layout object level.
Join us to discover innovative techniques that will transform your approach to FileMaker development, making your solutions more robust and future-proof.

Consider and go deep further in your meat-and-potatoes
If you’ve been developing Custom Apps on the FileMaker platform, you might have many techniques you commonly use. But didn’t you ever think, “How do other people do in this case?”?
In this session, we will talk about techniques that appear frequently in our development and discuss how many approaches we have to get the same results and how we can make it efficient, faster, and sometimes better results.
Also, this session will compare some techniques (container field alternatives, UPS integrations, etc.) I used it in the past and now, and what advantages can be made.
