We’re excited to welcome back the Cloud Architect Alliance community for our next dinner event. On June 26, we’ll gather in Amsterdam to explore how the role of the cloud architect is evolving, and what that means for us as individuals and as a community.
Together, we’ll address one central question:
What will the cloud architect of the future look like, and what should the Cloud Architect Alliance become in response?
The evening will feature two short keynotes, an excellent dinner, and a structured discussion at your table, with plenty of time for conversation and reflection throughout.
Confirmed speakers
- Olga Kulikova
- Director of Digital Transformation and Practice Lead for Enterprise Architecture, KPMG Netherlands
- Wouter Schmitz
- Chief Architect Payments & Settlement Services, ING
