The Business of Enterprise Architecture

Increasing the robustness and effectiveness of enterprise architecture (EA) efforts is what our clients have come to expect from Gartner. But in its 7th edition, our Las Vegas Fall Summit will change the way you think about your approach to EA. Whether you're new to EA or an experienced practitioner, this conference will give you the practical tools, concepts and examples you'll need to make EA a success at your organization, as well as leading-edge trends that will challenge you to take EA to the next step.

Whether visionary or practical, the advice will focus on "the Business of EA": how to make EA an integral part of the business, and how to "take care of the business" of EA.

Leading practitioners in EA are increasingly emphasizing the importance of business architecture. Disciplines such as business process management, EA and service management are joining forces to help both IT and the business govern the change from where they are today to where they want to be in the future. But to be ready for the integration of these disciplines, establishing the foundation for success is critical. We'll explore best practices for introducing EA into the organization and review the artifacts that help deliver EA into organizations year after year.

EA is about architecting the enterprise and this conference gets down to business. In the past, over 92% of attendees have said they would recommend the EA Summit to their colleagues.

There's no gamble in attending this year's Gartner Enterprise Architecture Summit in Las Vegas! Nowhere else will you get direct access to a dozen Gartner analysts sharing their latest independent EA research and best practices, along with hearing about EA successes and insights from practitioners in leading organizations.
