This February will see the launch of a new annual event to promote learning and share experience of Enterprise Architecture (EA) - the Integrated EA Conference. Sponsored by industry, Government and international standards bodies, the inaugural event will be held in London on 6-7th February 2008 hosted by the Institute of Mechanical Engineers, One Bird Cage Walk. The Conference will provide a forum for presentation and challenge of the practice and experience of enterprise architecture approaches, especially those relating to MODAF and related frameworks, directed at delivery of business benefit through integration and improved coherence.

This first conference features a wide range of speakers from organizations including the UK, US and Swedish Armed Forces, GCHQ, the Home Office, NATS, BAE Systems, IBM, and others.

For further information on the conference, including the current programme, see http://www.integrated-ea.com/iea08

As a sponsor of the event, Salamander is able to offer a 10% discount to attendees who use the order code TSORG375.

On the first day of the conference, Salamander and IBM are jointly running a workshop on Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). Building on our combined experience of business-driven SOA development with the MOD, this session will review the achievements to date and address progress towards the "promise" of SOA in respect of delivering agility to achieve enduring change.

The event is attracting significant interest, and places are limited, please confirm your attendance as soon as possible by booking via the website at http://www.integrated-ea.com/confpay
