Software Architecture Gathering 2026, the Global Conference for Software Architecture, takes place in Berlin, Germany from 16 November 2026 to 19 November 2026, drawing professionals and specialists from across the sector. The event pulls together voices from across the discipline — on stage, in the audience and in the conversations between. On an annual cycle, it gives the industry a regular moment to regroup and look ahead. Organised by iSAQB, each edition is run with the professionalism the industry has come to expect. Titanic Chaussee Berlin hosts, pairing practical facilities with a location that keeps attendees close to the action.

Staging Software Architecture Gathering 2026 in Berlin is no accident. The city blends serious event-hosting credentials with a character that rewards anyone who ventures beyond the venue. Flights land close by and public transport does the rest, so Berlin is an easy city to reach and an easier one to navigate. Rooms near the venue go quickly around the dates, but the wider city offers plenty of alternatives within easy reach. Beyond the sessions, Berlin rewards visitors with its food, culture and local landmarks.

Sessions span Software Architecture, Cloud, Software Development and Software, balancing big-picture vision with actionable, on-the-ground know-how. Workshops go deep, panels stay lively and the coffee breaks quietly do half the networking for you. Curated introductions and open networking areas take the awkwardness out of meeting new contacts. The line-up features Bert Jan Schrijver (CTO, OpenValue), Barry O’Reilly (CEO/Founder, Black Tulip Technology) and Charlie Kaufman (Professor, University of Washington), among others.

Few events pack so much insight, opportunity and inspiration into so few days. For researchers, operators and enthusiasts who like to stay a step ahead, Software Architecture Gathering 2026 is time well spent.

Whether you attend for a single day or the full run, planning your visit in advance helps you make the most of your time on site.
