The Microsoft Architect Insight Conference is almost here!

The fifth annual Microsoft Architect Insight Conference builds once again on the success of previous years with another line-up of compelling guest speakers ready to share their opinions. The theme of this year’s event will focus on how successful architecture is rapidly becoming a key business differentiator both for today’s architect, and for tomorrow’s.

This time round we are moving back to a full two-day, three-track format, with the added flexibility for architects to attend one or both days. There will be three dedicated breakout tracks that will focus on the needs of the Enterprise, Solution and Infrastructure architect and in addition we will run a parallel set of interactive discussion based tracks for those that wish to delve a little deeper.

Day 1 will focus on Architecting Today: From Cost to Innovation

Day 2 will focus on Architecting Tomorrow: Implications of Cloud

As part of the event we will hold special Microsoft Executive Keynotes on each day along with keynotes from luminaries from across the architect field including:

Iain Mortimer, Chief Architect, Merrill Lynch Bank of America

Andy Hopkirk, Head of Projects and Programmes and Director e-GIF Programme, NCC
