SATURN Network and Annual SATURN Conference
As systems grow in complexity, architecture’s role becomes increasingly important at the enterprise, systems, and software
levels. Architecture practitioners rely on best practices and technology to build predictable, high-quality systems. To promote
sharing of architecture advances, the SEI Architecture Technology User Network (SATURN) was formed in 2005.
The SATURN Conference is held every year to bring together experts from around the world to exchange architecture-centric
best practices to develop, acquire, and maintain software-reliant systems. This is the event where architecture professionals
meet to share, network, and learn.
The annual SATURN Conference reflects the network’s vision, connecting architecture practitioners to
•
share best practices in developing and acquiring predictable, high-quality architectures
•
network with colleagues and SEI experts
find potential solutions, service providers, training, partners, and more to help their organizations
use effective architecture practices across the life cycle
• •
stay current with the latest SEI architecture technologies
•
meet and learn from other architecture professionals
SATURN has flourished since its formation, expanding in the breadth of topics explored, and now boasts more than 1400
members on LinkedIn, as well as a vibrant online presence through our SATURN blog.
By becoming a sponsor for SATURN 2013, you will promote the goals of both the conference and the Network,
and help advance the state of the art in architecture practices.
