EngageU 2026 Malmö conference

Overview

What should you actually do at a FileMaker conference?

People ask this before every FileMaker conference. The answer is simple;

The sessions fill you with ideas, but they rarely solve that one problem that’s sitting on your desk right now.

Write your questions down first

Before you leave for Malmö, write down your hardest open problems.

• the script that times out for one customer, not the others
• the sync that drops records between two servers
• the layout nobody likes but nobody has fixed
• the report that takes ten minutes to run

Write them down before you pack. Not after the first day, once your head is full of new features.

Speak To A Claris Engineer At The Conference

Conference sessions are packed. One person gets the microphone. Everyone else waits their turn.

The expo floor, however, works differently. A Claris engineer stands there with time to talk. There’s no line to wait in, you don’t need to raise your hand, there’s no time limit.

Just walk up with your questions already written down. Ask them directly.

Why one answer beats guessing

A single direct answer from an engineer, at the conference, can save weeks of testing back at your desk.

You already paid to be in the room. Use it for the specific problem you brought, not the general one everyone else asks.
