Next week, the SOA Consortium is hosting two events in Brussels. We start on Tuesday June 26, with an Executive Summit. Our Executive Summits are exclusive, invitation-only, vendor-free, events held quarterly, in major cities around the world. We invite business-focused CIOs and CTOs who are actively pursuing SOA. During the Summits, we have two related activities. First, in a focus group style presentation, we share our mission, strategies and tactics, with the sole purpose of receiving candid feedback from this core constituency. Second, we engage the group in a peer roundtable conversation on the opportunities, success factors, challenges, and impediments of SOA adoption. Of course, I say "first" and "second", but if our US Summits were any indication, the roundtable will embed within the presentation and new insights and relationships will be gained by all. Similar to the US Summits, the Top 5 Insights will be made public. Watch this space for more information.
On Wednesday and Thursday, we are hosting the quarterly meeting of the SOA Consortium. This meeting is designed for members and non-members to interact around the topic of business-driven SOA. Our agenda is a mix of invited speakers, working group updates, a European BPM ThinkTank update, and a SOA Governance Roundtable to be recorded as a podcast.
