CONFERENCE AGENDA

8:00am – 9:00am: Registration and Continental Breakfast

9:00am – 10:00am: From Framework to Flow – Evolving EA for Dynamic Business Execution

Traditional EA frameworks often struggle to keep up with rapid change. This session will focus on moving from rigid models to living architectures that enable faster decision-making, business agility, and real-time alignment. Learn how to implement continuous architecture practices that blend governance with adaptability.

10:00am – 10:30am: Refreshment & Exhibit Break

10:30am – 11:30am:  Integrating Generative AI into EA – Governance, Risk & Strategy

As generative AI becomes embedded in business operations, architects face new responsibilities. This session explores how enterprise architects can lead the integration of GenAI into core systems while managing governance, regulatory risk, and ethical guardrails — ensuring scalable, responsible adoption.

11:30am – 12:30pm: Architecture for Business Capability Modeling – From Org Charts to Capability Maps

This session will demonstrate how to shift architectural thinking from systems and applications to business capabilities. Learn how to partner with business leaders to map capabilities, prioritize investments, and build a unified language between IT and business strategy.

12:30pm – 1:30pm: Lunch & Exhibit Break

1:30pm – 2:30pm: EA’s Role in the Cloud Operating Model – Enabling FinOps, SecOps & DevOps Harmony

Enterprise Architects must bridge organizational silos. This session explores how EA can orchestrate collaboration across FinOps, SecOps, and DevOps teams within a hybrid cloud model. Attendees will learn how architecture can drive shared accountability for cost, security, and velocity in cloud environments.

2:30pm – 3:00pm: Refreshment & Exhibit Break

3:00pm – 4:00pm: Modernization Without Rebuilding – Smart Refactoring Strategies

Many enterprises are stuck between legacy systems and full cloud-native rebuilds. This session presents real-world approaches for modernization through targeted refactoring, replatforming, and composable services—without blowing up existing systems or budgets.

4:00pm – 5:00pm: Panel – The Evolving Role of Enterprise Architecture: What’s Next?

Panelists will include Chief and Senior enterprise architects from enterprise IT organizations
Topics:

  • How are EA teams retooling for agility and product thinking?
  • What new skills and mindsets are needed for the AI era?
  • What should EA stop doing — and what must it start doing?
  • How do executives measure EA value today?
