IT Architects Regional Conference is coming to New York

The International Association of Software Architects (IASA) has been running a series of IT Architect Regional Conferences all over the world. These conferences are the largest event in the regions to address the pressing needs of IT architects today. (See https://www.iasahome.org.) The theme of the conference, “Kick your skills into high gear”, is targeted at architects of all levels who are interested in walking out of every session with a new capability. The conference will carry forward the success of the recent IASA Architect Skills Library, which delivered over 600 pages of material on architect skills from IT architects all over the world.

Recently we held conferences in San Diego and Atlanta with excellent response. Now we are planning one for March 22-23 in New York city.   We are currently looking for presenters and sponsors. If you are interested in either drop me a note at wzack@microsoft.com and I will send the forms to you.
