Description

Pre-conference workshops have limited capacity and are sold separately from conference tickets.

IT architecture isn’t just about software and design patterns. If the greatest technology isn't aligned with the business strategy or not appreciated by senior executives, it won't have much impact. This highly interactive workshop upgrades IT architects and senior developers to play a more impactful role across their organization. They will learn how to forge a crucial connection between the IT engine room and the organization’s leadership by tackling complexity, more effectively communicating with senior management, and influencing the organization's operating model.

About Gregor Hohpe

Gregor rides the Architect Elevator from the engine room to the penthouse, perhaps automating serverless solutions in the morning and preparing board presentations in the afternoon. He helps technology leaders transform both their organization and their technology platform, leads architecture teams out of the ivory tower, and rethinks serverless programming models. His favorite pastime is dissecting buzzwords to replace them with meaningful decisions and architectural trade-offs.

Gregor is known as co-author of the seminal book Enterprise Integration Patterns, which provided the reference vocabulary for all modern ESBs. His book The Software Architect Elevator tells stories from the trenches of IT transformation while his articles have been featured in Best Software Writing by Joel Spolsky and 97 Things Every Software Architect Should Know. He is an active member of the IEEE Software advisory board.
