I am helping out with organizing the NY local IT Architect Regional Conference, and will also be speaking there about content repositories emerging as equivalent of databases for content (i.e. documents). There are a bunch of great speakers in the lineup (at least a few of the ones I heard before). If you are an architect, or an aspiring architect, I definitely encourage you to attend. It’s a community-run effort, and the conference is run pretty much at cost, so I think it’s a great deal. The space is limited, so please register soon.
IASA New York IT Architect Regional Conference - May 22-23, 2008
We have a great lineup of local and global keynote and breakout session presenters lined up for the conference. You would have to pay thousands of dollars plus travel expenses to attend a Gartner or other similar architecture conference elsewhere. We are bringing this conference to New York for a very low price. However due to venue space limitations we can only accommodate 200 attendees. If you are interested in attending we encourage you to register as early as possible.
Early bird registration: (On or before March 31st):
- $350 for IASA members; $500 for non-IASA members (join for $50 and get the lower rate)
After early bird:
- $450 for IASA members; $600 for non-IASA members (join for $50 and get the lower rate)
- 10% discount will be given for local chapter members. (You can register yourself using discount code: community436.)
The registration link is here.
The ITARC is run by the local chapter of IASA (International Association of Software Architects). IASA is the premier association focused on the IT architecture profession through education, advocacy, events, and the development of best practices. IASA New York Chapter web site here. They hold free monthly meetings focused on various architecture topics.
