Five Reasons You Can't Afford To Miss SATURN 2009

1. You'll be in excellent company.
Organizations from the Aerospace Corporation to Westinghouse have attended previous SATURN conferences. Check out the entire list at http://www.sei.cmu.edu/architecture/...#Organizations

2. John A. Zachman, the originator of the Framework for Enterprise Architecture, will keynote.
Zachman, also known for his early contributions to IBM's information strategy methodology (Business Systems Planning) and executive team planning techniques (Intensive Planning), is now the chief executive officer of his own education and consulting business, Zachman International.

3. There's nothing like Pittsburgh in May.
First-time visitors to Pittsburgh often find what they don't expect: forested hills surrounding merging rivers, elaborate historical architecture next to gleaming, faceted structures, and an energetic epicenter of technology innovation.

4. Rebecca Wirfs-Brock will speak on Lessons Learned from Architecture Reviews.
The software architecture review is one tool that helps reveal architectural risks and strengths as well as uncover unidentified issues that need addressing. A software architect needs to compellingly present the software architecture and build confidence that key architectural decisions have been thoughtfully made.

5. You can save $350 off the conference fee if you register by March 31.
