This past Saturday, Syncfusion was honored to host [Xamarin Dev Days](https://www.xamarin.com/dev-days)
 for the Xamarin developer community at our office in Morrisville, NC. We had two great speakers leading the sessions: Dan Rigby and Ed Snider.

Rigby is a Xamarin Technical Solutions Professional at Microsoft, a software engineer, and a former consultant with a passion for building high-quality, native mobile apps using Xamarin. His experience with C# and .NET spans almost a decade, including software development projects that range from travel booking systems to financial trading platforms and digital retail.

Snider is a senior software engineer, speaker, author, and Xamarin MVP based in northern Virginia near Washington DC. He has a passion for mobile design and development, and regularly speaks about Xamarin and Windows app development at local user groups and community events.

After a quick introduction, Dan started off the day with his “Introduction to Xamarin.Forms” presentation. Attendance was good, with about 25 attendees from across the mobile development community of the Raleigh-Durham area and beyond.

Each attendee received a free license of [Essential Studio® for Xamarin](https://www.syncfusion.com/products/xamarin)
 as a thank-you for attending. If you’d like to check it out yourself, [download a free trial](https://www.syncfusion.com/downloads/xamarin?utm_medium=BizDev-blogpost1015)
 of our recently updated studio.

We look forward to continued events with Xamarin and to releasing further Xamarin components for cross-platform mobile development. The next event we are hosting is coming up in just two weeks: [Xamarin Dev Days Chennai on October 15](https://ti.to/xamarin/dev-days-chennai)
