Since its foundation, Hillside Europe has run the EuroPLoP conference series -the European conference series on software patterns.
EuroPLoP explores, develops and celebrates patterns in software. Its main focus is on writer's workshops where pattern authors work together to improve their patterns. In addition to these workshops, EuroPLoP features discussion groups, BOF session and other events.
EuroPLoP takes place annually and is held at Kloster Irsee - a former Benedectine monastery in the heart of Bavaria, Germany. This beautiful and tranquil setting greatly contributes to the unique EuroPLoP atmosphere.
