You've Got Ideas. We've Got Ideas. Let's Talk.
From AI, ML, and data services to DevOps, product development, and upskilling, we're calling all architects to join us - virtually - to discuss the top topics in tech and explore solutions to today's top challenges.
These Architecture Roundtables are like a proverbial "give a penny, take a penny" except instead of pennies, we're trading ideas and experiences. Talks will be facilitated by an nvisia expert and may include short presentations to get the conversation going. But the idea is to create a safe, open space for us architects to discuss what matters most to us and our businesses. So let us know which session(s) you'd like to join and we'll get you on the list. See the menu below and sign up for as many as you like.
*Note: All sessions are FREE, virtual, and run from 12pm to 1pm CST on Tuesdays and Thursdays this February and March. We've designed these for small groups of ~8-10 so everyone has space to think and speak freely.
