Software Architecture Forum 2026 – New iSAQB Conference for the German-Speaking Software Architecture Community
From June 16–17, 2026, the International Software Architecture Qualification Board (iSAQB®) will host the Software Architecture Forum for the first time – a new community conference dedicated to the German-speaking software architecture community.
Over two days, the community will gather in Munich-Unterhaching to discuss current challenges, best practices, and emerging perspectives in modern software architecture. The program spans a wide range of core architecture topics and is aligned with the subject areas of the Certified Professional for Software Architecture (CPSA®) Advanced Level.
Meet the Experts Behind the CPSA Advanced Level
One of the highlights of the forum is the opportunity to meet many of the curators and experts behind the CPSA Advanced Level modules in person. The event brings together the people who shape the CPSA curriculum and share their expertise with the community – offering participants a unique chance to learn directly from leading experts in their respective fields.
The sessions focus on practical insights, real-world experiences, and architectural approaches for modern IT systems – from architecture decisions and system evolution to emerging technologies.
