The international patterns & practices Summit showcases the official Microsoft "patterns and practices" for developers, designers, and solutions architects who need to learn how to integrate architectural design patterns and procedures with the technology provided by Microsoft's .NET platform.

The patterns & practices Summits pack into one event an extraordinary collection of unique presentations offered by many of the industry's best speakers. An evening reception sponsored by Infragistics will give attendees an opportunity to meet with Microsoft personnel. Attendees will come away with a strong foundation in the architectural principles underlying Microsoft's .NET technology, which will prepare them to construct the next generation of enterprise-scale applications.
