The Number One SOA Event
The Only Enterprise Open Source Event
Delivered Together As The Premier i-Technology Networking Opportunity of the Year!
The 11th International SOA World Conference & Expo 2007, colocated with the Second Annual Enterprise Open Source Conference, will take place on June 25-27, 2007 at the historic Roosevelt Hotel in New York City.
Service-oriented architectures (SOAs) have evolved over the past few years out of the original vision of loosely coupled web services replacing constrained, stovepiped applications throughout enterprise IT. Every major enterprise technology vendor today has developed its own SOA strategy, supported by innumerable mid-size companies and start-ups offering specific SOA aspects or entire solutions.
SOA World Conference & Expo 2007 brings together the best minds in the business to New York for a three-day conference that offers comprehensive coverage of SOA and what it means to enterprise IT today.
With SOA moving past its initial buzzword phase into increasingly widespread worldwide deployment, it is often accompanied by Open Source technology. The age of Enterprise Open Source (EOS) has indeed arrived, and is now seen as a key component to enterprise IT as it considers, designs, and deploys its infrastructure for today and tomorrow.
The Second Annual Enterprise Open Source Conference is thus colocated with the SOA World Conference & Expo 2007, bringing together SOA and EOS into a uniquely insightful event!
As an additional bonus to attendees, SYS-CON Events is offering admission to the world's first Virtualization Conference & Expo FREE OF CHARGE to all SOAWorld and EOS Conference attendees (see box below).
