For the past few weeks I’ve been heavily involved in the organization of a SOA symposium to be held at the FDIC building in Washington, D.C. on April 2nd and 3rd. The event brings together experts from industry, government, and academia – attendees will be able to hear about case studies of SOA in practice, leading research, and technology innovations. The agenda promises a great event – 27 speakers covering design, technology, governance and people issues in 2 days, book signings, and a seminar on the Speed of Thought by Stephen R.M. Covey. Keynotes include Dennis Wisnosky (U.S. Department of Defense), Thomas Erl (SOASchool.com), Sandy Carter (IBM), and Paul Strassman (Information Economics Press). The event is a great value at $250 for the 2 day event (for industry participants, government representatives have free access). Take a look at www.soasymposium.com for the details and registration, or download the flyer below for a one-page summary.
