SA2010 London Oct 2010	I managed to pick up a bad cold the day before I was due to speak at SA 2010 but in spite of that I enjoyed the event. I gave two talks, one on using design principles and one on preserving architecture and design information in a system's implementation.	[DesignPrinciplesSlides] [PreservingArchSlides]
ECSA 2010 Copenhagen Aug 2010	I submitted a paper to the Industry track at ECSA 2010 talking about the challenges of preserving architectural design information in a system's implementation. The slides are linked here, the paper is on the Writing page.	[Slides]
SPA2010 May 2010	For SPA this year Chris Cooper-Bland, Nick Rozanski and I presented a session on applying design principles for architecture and design work. From the feedback scores it appears that this session didn't really hit the spot for a number of the attendees, but thanks to all who came along and we hope that everyone got something from the session.

OOP2010 Munich Jan 2010	I was fortunate to be asked to give a couple of talks at OOP2010 in Munich. I ran my Agile Architecture and Top 10 Software Architecture Mistakes sessions and the slides are available here. Thanks to Frances Paulisch for the invitation.	[AgileArchSides] [Top10Slides]
IASA London Jan 2010	Nick Rozanski, Chris Cooper-Bland and I ran a session for the UK IASA chapter on the subject of architectural design principles, which seemed to go very well. Matt Deacon, the leader of the UK chapter has blogged about our session and made some excellent follow up comments on his Digestive Blog.

WICSA2009 Cambridge Sep 2009	This conference is known as the conference for software architects by software architects and in 2009 it was located in Cambridge in the UK. I was very privileged to give a keynote talk as well as co-presenting a workshop paper and being part of the organising committee, ably led by Chris Cooper-Bland and Mark Dalgarno.

miniSPA2009 Jul 2009	Andy Longshaw, Nick Rozanski and I re-ran a slightly truncated version of our design principles session from SPA2009 at the sister one-day event miniSPA 2009 in July. It seemed to go very well, from our point of view at least, and it was great to get some more insights from a fresh audience. Hopefully if you were an attendee you found it useful and interesting too.
SPA2009 Apr 2009	Once again I was fortunate to present a session with Andy Longshaw and Nick Rozanski, this year exploring how design principles underpin design patterns. The session went very well and appeared to be well received (thanks for the positive feedback if you were there). We had some interesting outputs available here.	[Slides]
QCON London Mar 2009	I gave a talk describing how we've built a bespoke portfolio management system at BGI and how we blended mainstream and niche commercial and open source software in order to achieve this at acceptable cost and risk. Slides and video replay linked here.	[Slides] [Video]

JAOO2008 Aarhus Sep 2008	I gave a talk based on my Top 10 Architecture Mistakes article at JAOO in Denmark and thoroughly enjoyed my time during the few days I was there. A great conference!	[Slides]
SA2008 London Jun 2008	I gave a couple of talks at Software Architect 2008 at the Barbican Centre in London, one on systems-of-systems modelling and one on agile architecture practices. Kudos to Nick Payne and his team on organising a great event.	[AgileArchSlides] [SysOfSysSlides]
SATURN2008 Pittsburgh Apr 2008	I gave a keynote talk and presented my tutorial on Software Architecture Using Viewpoints and Perspectives at this excellent workshop event organised by the Software Engineering Institute. The tutorial slides and slides and a video presentation of the keynote are here.	[KeynoteVideo] [KeynoteSlides] [TutorialSlides]
SPA2008 Mar 2008	I co-presented a couple of sessions at SPA2008. The first was with Rob James of HSBC on systems integration which simulated the process of integrating enterprise systems where one set of teams worked in a tactical ("just do it") way and the other worked together via a shared XML schema to allow us to compare the results. The second session was run with Nick Rozanski and Andy Longshaw on exploring what you should put in an architectural description document.	[IntegrationSlides] [ArchDescSlides]

IASA London Dec 2007	I gave a talk on agile architecture, very similar to the one at EAC2007 (below) based on my experience of trying to do architecture in an agile way and also working effectively as an architect with agile teams. Slides are the same as the talk below.
EAC2007 London Jun 2007	I gave my first talk on "agile architecture" based on my experience of trying to do architecture work in an agile way and working as an architect with agile teams. The core of the talk discussed how software architects can (and should) interact with agile, delivery focused teams, along with examples. Somehow there shouldn't be a conflict but there often is, so the talk explains how I think you can avoid it.	[Slides]
CG2007 Cambridge May 2007	I presented a workshop with Nick Rozanski on what a DSL for information systems architecture might look like.	[Slides]
SPA2007 Mar 2007	I presented a 3 hour workshop with Nick Rozanski on achieving high availability. Slides from the workshop are linked here, the outputs are on the SPA Wiki.	[Slides]

OOPSLA 2006 Portland Oct 2006	I presented our Software Architecture tutorial at OOPSLA in Portland in October 2006. These are the slides from the session, updated to remove minor errors spotted during the presentation.	[Slides]
SPA Cambridge Sep 2006	I gave an updated version of my "Past, Present and Future of Software Architecture" talk to the BCS SPA Cambridge subgroup. Many thanks to all who attended. It seemed to go well and I enjoyed the discussion we had at the end of the talk. These are the slides I used for the talk, reorganised slightly for easy printing.	[Slides]
