Next week, renowned FileMaker speaker and developer, Mike Beargie, will travel down to Le Pavillon hotel in New Orleans, La. to speak at the Pause on Error conference, hosted by the Women of FileMaker group, on May 7-8.

When asked about the setup of this conference, Beargie replied, “Pause on Error is a bit of a wild-west style meetup. The smaller rooms lend well to allow speakers to share prototype work and techniques that drives innovation in our community.” Continuing, Beargie explains the sessions aren’t “present and consume,” like they are FileMaker DevCon, or other conferences. Instead, group discussion and participation are not only encouraged, but invaluable to the community. “I always look forward to Pause because it inspires me to innovate, both in my own work and with more community contributions,” Mike exclaimed.

Pause on Error has 24 feature sessions presented by a panel of community-driven speakers from all walks of life, including speakers from FileMaker, Inc. Specifically, Beargie’s session will be geared towards out-of-the-box thinking when designing FileMaker application features. “There’s loads of inspiration that can be taken from web apps,” Beargie said. “With recent improvements to the design surface in FileMaker, it makes it a lot easier to develop similar functions in FileMaker. In my session, we’ll look at how to recreate these inspired features in FileMaker.”

Stay tuned for updates after the conference from Mike!
