World's Largest SOA
Event for SOA Practitioners
The International SOA Symposium is the largest and most comprehensive SOA event for practitioners.
Following the success of last year’s International SOA Symposium in Amsterdam and the recently completed SOA Symposium held in Arlington, USA, this next edition will be largest and most ambitious event held so far. Located at the World Trade Center in beautiful Rotterdam, the main conference will be held on October 22-23, 2009 and will be followed by a series of SOA Certified Professional certification workshops during the week of October 26-30, 2009.
This year's symposium is dedicated to the theme "Exploring Next Generation SOA" and will showcase the world's leading SOA experts and authors from around the world. Internationally recognized speakers such as Thomas Erl, Grady Booch, Anne Thomas Manes, David Chappell, Dirk Krafzig, Jim Webber, Nicolai Josuttis, Paul Brown, Mark Little, Clemens Utschig, Toufic Boubez, Ali Arsanjani, Brian Loesgen and many others will provide new and exclusive coverage of the most relevant and critical topics in the SOA industry today.
