What Attendees Have Said...
"This is one of my favorite conferences! Somewhat for sessions, but most of all because of the people and conversations. Access to MS folks at all levels is huge, so many of them because they don't have to travel and they're relaxed. Attendees are all interested in their craft, conference size is right for discovery and conversation." "This was a wonderful experience." "Overall, conference was great, gave us good roadmap to follow." "Thank you for all the great ideas. I am looking forward to going home and applying them." "Many of the things I learned here will revolutionize our practices, processes, designs, and patterns. THANKS!" "Very valuable experience, especially the opportunity to meet the P and P staff and discuss futures." "Humor was refreshing" |
"Enjoyed the range of subjects." "Great event! Do it again!" "Excellent conference, just first day alone was worth the money. Thank you." "This is a very good conference for SW development, process." "Excellent event! My only regret is that more of my team members weren't able to attend." "All speakers were very knowledgeable and they addressed many issues that I face every day." "This was an excellent conference for me. I'm taking away some useful tools." |
More Tools for Your Toolbox...
The patterns & practices Summit is an event for software architects and developers passionate about mastering their craft.
The patterns & practices Summit offers deeper insight into the p&p guidance that you are already using. You will also discover and learn about p&p guidance offerings that address additional development challenges. You'll have the opportunity to interact directly with the p&p team, top engineers from other Microsoft product groups, and industry luminaries, both at the event and at an evening reception. Attending the patterns & practices Summit provides you with new tools for making better design, implementation, and technology selection decisions.
Who Presents?
- Architects, developers, and program managers from the p&p team deliver sessions that dive deep into the technology. You'll understand what problem a particular p&p offering addresses, the technical implications, and the reasoning behind the architectural and implementation recommendations.
- Industry luminaries address cutting edge topics of interest to architects and software engineers, often with humor and always with panache.
- Technical leaders from Microsoft product groups will discuss the current state of, and future plans for, the Microsoft application platform.
Who Attends?
Most of the attendees are solution architects or senior developers. Many work for major corporations while others are consultants or Microsoft partners focused on custom application development. All share a common interest in pushing the boundaries of software engineering, learning about existing and emerging patterns & practices, and interacting with engineers from Microsoft, as well as each other.
