21st Enterprise Architecture
Practitioners Conference
February 2-4 2009, San Diego, CA
Objective of Meeting
The Enterprise Architecture Practitioners Conferences are organized by
Enterprise Architecture practitioners, for
Enterprise Architecture practitioners, and for those
directly involved in the management and oversight of Enterprise
Architecture. Open Group members and non-members alike come together to share insights and perspectives on
best practices in Enterprise Architecture.
The conference underlined the continuing role of The Open Group in providing a
truly global forum in which Enterprise Architects from all sectors of the industry can come
together to discuss best practice in Enterprise Architecture, hone their skills,
find new ways to solve problems, share experiences, and learn from each other.
Summary
Each day of the three-day conference included a mix of plenary presentations, with industry leaders
from near and far sharing their insights on the day’s theme; and a set
of parallel tracks examining specific areas in depth. The various tracks delivered
presentations by enterprise
architecture professionals from both vendor and customer organizations; and provided experience-based insight into the approaches and
methods that have proved most effective for developing architectures around the
world.
The presentations can be accessed from the links below under separate daily
headings:
