There is a full architect track again this year. I'm not speaking this year so you definitely won’t have to endure my monotonous voice (thanks for the feedback). You can use the session search tool to look at all the Arch track sessions such as:
Dealing with Data in Service-Oriented Architectures
Designing for concurrency (I get asked about this w.r.t distributed services all the time)
Visual Studio 2005 - lots of different sessions
Building and using a Software Factory - this one looks fantastic.

Save yourself €300 booking before Friday.
