Architect Factory

After successful events in 2009 and 2010, the Architect Factory 3 will be held at Microsoft NERD in Cambridge, MA on June 9th from 1-8PM. 

This free event helps experienced developers (regardless of technology) learn the skills to transition into a variety of architect roles.

From the Architect Factory site:

Many experienced developers look to become software architects instead of managers as the next step in their careers, but it can be difficult to find opportunities to learn about the skills needed to make the transition. Aspiring architects need a way to learn what to learn to become effective architects. The Architect Factory is designed to fill this need.

The Call for Speakers (see below) is open now, and registration will be opening soon is now open at:
