From the PEAM website:
There is a growing interest in academia and industry to identify, collect, document and exchange best practices in the management of very large software application landscapes in a structured manner.
The goal of the workshop is to improve this knowledge exchange by using an integrating pattern-based approach. An enterprise architecture management pattern (EAM pattern) is a general, reusable solution to a common problem in a given context which identifies driving forces, known usages and consequences. It can be specified on different levels of abstraction and detail, e.g. as a framework for enterprise architectures, as a method for enterprise modeling, or as a reference model.
The Nordic Conference on Pattern Languages of Programs
Sagadi Manor, Estonia
VikingPLoP is a conference in the tradition of the PLoP conferences, held in different places in northern Europe; that's what the Vikings did -- they were always moving to new territory!
The conference program contains writer’s workshops for submitted pattern papers, focus groups, and other activities. The conference provides participants with the opportunity to share their experiences about patterns and software. As with the PLoP series of conferences, our overall goal is to build a community of patterns' people.
VikingPLoP especially encourages submissions related to embedded systems, however, also other pattern-related topics are very welcome. For examples of patterns from past years, browse the material at the Patterns Homepage.

VikingPLoP™
The Nordic Conference on Pattern Languages of Programs
We have compiled our collected PLoP experiences into a series named How to Run PLoP
The Hillside Group Sponsors many different conferences such as: PLoP, EuroPLoP, AsianPLoP, ScrumPLoP, VikingPLoP, SugarLoafPLoP, and ChiliPLoP.

Participants have the opportunity to refine and extend their patterns with help from knowledgeable and sympathetic patterns enthusiasts.
The Latin American Conference
on Pattern Languages of Programs
Software developers have long observed that certain themes recur and endure across different applications and systems. The emerging interest in patterns represents an effort to catalog and communicate these themes and motives to provide handbooks of proven solutions to common problems.
SugarLoafPLoP brings together researchers and practitioners whose interests span a remarkably broad range of topics, who share an interest in exploring the power of the pattern form. SugarLoafPLoP invites you to add your expertise to the growing corpus of patterns. SugarLoafPLoP focuses on improving the expression of patterns. You will have the opportunity to refine and extend your patterns with help from knowledgeable and sympathetic fellow patterns enthusiasts.
