Alexis Allen and Matt talk about Engage and Elevate FM conferences

Alexis Allen teaches design classes at FM Design university and she is hosting a 1 day FileMaker conference in Toronto, with a training day following the conference. The dates are May 26-27 2025.

Alexis and Matt talk about Engage with all the AI and other goodness, approaches to design, our collaboration on teaching, and we nerd out a little bit about music.

Shout to to Alexei Folger for always listening to the end.
