Speaking

I regularly speak about software development; at events around Europe ranging from large conferences such as GOTO, QCon, DevWeek and Software Architect through to small user groups and specialist events. Most of the slides from these events are available to view online or download. Some of my talks have also been recorded.

Speaking events in 2012

I'm speaking at a number of events in 2012 including...

	QCon London 2012 I'm running a 1-day tutorial called Are you a software architect? that explores the role of the software architect and its importance in all types of software projects.
	DevWeek 2012 I'm presenting an extended version of my The Frustrated Architect talk along with a 1-day post-conference workshop called Effective Sketches that focusses on how to communicate the architecture of your software using a simple collection of effective sketches.
	Skills Matter "in the brain" I'm running an "in the brain" session called How much up front design is "just enough"? that will be looking at the vague gap between waterfall's "big up front design" and agile's "emergent design".
	GOTO Copenhagen 2012 I'm hosting the software architecture track and presenting a session called Master-builder; the original generalising specialist? that looks at the software architecture role in modern software development.
	GOTO Amsterdam 2012 I'm repeating my Master-builder; the original generalising specialist? talk in Amsterdam.

In-house talks

Any of my training material or presentations can be tailored for in-house talks. I often run short sessions for internal teams and special interest groups during or after work. If I'm in the area and have a few hours to spare, I'll probably do this for free.

Please get in touch if you're interested in me speaking at your organisation or event.
