The conference will host more than 30 presenters from federal agencies, industry and academia that cover the SOA lifecycle, technical issues, governance and policy aspects, as well as emerging innovations and issues of semantic integration and collaborative service-oriented solutions. The SOA Symposium is a premier conference services offering a forum for practitioners, analysts, and industry representatives to present and discuss experiences and trends. This conference sessions are directed at both business and technical architects, analysts, decision makers and IT practitioners.

The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) has embarked on a path to implement SOA as a primary means to deliver increased capability to the warfighter by improving the efficiency and effectiveness of business operations. Industry around the world has demonstrated that SOA can substantially reduce the cost of IT infrastructure while greatly improving business agility. Both the IT and the business communities must jointly own and manage a proven inclusive architecture to achieve SOA success. Teamwork and discipline are essential to the success of SOA. To be successful, SOA must be considered a team sport that involves all elements of people, process, technology, and especially trust.

The SOA Symposium will be held on April 21 and 22, 2010, at the Sheraton Crystal City in Arlington, VA, USA. This venue is in close proximity of Washington's Reagan National Airport and the WMATA subway system.
