XP West Michigan is a 501c6 non-profit trade association dedicated to improving the competitiveness of Michigan’s software development community. We are particularly interested in disseminating knowledge of agile software development practices.

XPwm was founded by Atomic Object in the fall of 2003.

We meet regularly on the 4th Tuesday of each month, excepting December and summer months. Membership and attendance at meetings is free.

We organize an annual conference, the Great Lakes Software Excellence Conference

A board of directors organizes meetings and arranges for speakers and activities. Our goal is the least organizational overhead that will produce excellent meetings.

Corporate sponsors are essential to have nice meeting places, snacks, and speakers from out-of-town. We encourage sponsorship of GLSEC as a means of supporting the organization.

We typically have between 30 and 60 people at our monthly meetings.
