About the ALM Summit

Build Quality Applications that Meet Business Requirements

If you are an ALM practitioner, lead, or manager who is passionate about mastering your craft, you should register now to attend the ALM Summit, November 16-18th at the Microsoft Conference Center in Redmond, Washington.

When you attend the ALM Summit you will gain deeper insight into your application lifecycle. You will also discover and learn about industry best practices that address additional development challenges, and how Microsoft's ALM Solutions enable and support those best practices . You'll have the opportunity to interact directly with the Visual Studio team, top engineers from other Microsoft product groups, and industry luminaries - both at the event and at evening receptions. Attending the ALM Summit will provide you with new tools for making better design, implementation, and technology selection decisions.

Who Presents?

Executives, architects, and managers from Microsoft as well as recognized ALM industry experts deliver sessions that dive deep into the best practices of ALM. You will understand the business implications of an agile transformation, and what the best practices are for achieving success in your own organization.

Industry luminaries address cutting edge topics of interest to ALM practitioners, leads, and managers - often with humor and always with panache.

Technical leaders from Microsoft product groups will discuss the current state of, and future plans for, ALM for the Microsoft application platform.

Who Attends?

Most of the attendees are ALM practitioners and managers working to extend their knowledge of their craft and to make connections with their peers in other organizations. 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 best practices, and interacting with engineers from Microsoft, as well as each other.
