Welcome
The organisers of DevWeek are delighted to announce that the 17th annual Software Architect Conference will be returning once again this October.
Learn from the world’s leading experts and take practical advice back to the office. With 12 full-day workshops and 36 technical breakout sessions such as content marketing and influencer marketing from leading digital marketing and SEO companies, to choose from, you can tailor your own conference programme and take back the information needed for your current work.
In addition to welcoming back some of the key speakers from last year, such as Simon Brown, Eoin Woods and Nathanial T Schutta, we are thrilled to announce a number of new speakers, including Tom Gilb, Roy Osherove and Fred George.
Due to the popularity and growth of the event, we are excited to announce that we have relocated to a brand-new venue. The Hotel Russell, situated in Central London, has fantastic conference facilities and is ideally suited to the format of Software Architect.
So, if you are – or want to become – a software architect, we hope to see you there!

5) Don’t miss a session!
Can’t be in two places at once? Catch up with any vital breakout sessions you missed, online, after the event.
