Even with volumes of information available on the topic of Business and IT Alignment organizations worldwide still struggle to achieve and maintain alignment. Why? Because they offer solutions that are too narrow, promise too much and deliver too little. Imagine if you could come to an event and walk away with new ideas and a plan of action to truly align your organization - how much more would you achieve? Only one discipline exists that can unite all aspects of business and information technology, from the strategic to tactical, integrating the enterprise and eliminating wasteful silos, and addressing today's objectives and also tomorrow's vision. That discipline is enterprise architecture.

For over 10 years, the Enterprise Architectures Conference has been the premier event for enterprise architects and executives. This year, EAC provides you with the most diverse speaking faculty and sessions ever. Explore and troubleshoot daily scenarios with practitioners & industry leaders, build essential core techniques and approaches of EA, master the how-to's of EA deliverables, and if you're just starting with EA practices, there are sessions and workshops especially for you.

Join IIR and conference chairman, George Paras at EAC this Fall where you will learn from the best in the industry, including Larry DeBoever, Tim Westbrock & John Zachman. You will meet top industry analysts and corporate practitioners who will guide you towards an EA action plan that you can then implement within your organization upon returning to the office!

In this time of ever-present change, take the first step in becoming an industry leader! Jin us at EAC this Fall!
