The Software Architecture AI Day Conference Set to Address AI Systems Design Challenges
On March 10, 2026, the inaugural Software Architecture AI Day will be held online, organized by iSAQB and dpunkt.verlag. This conference aims to bring together software architects, developers, and IT leaders to tackle the unique architectural challenges posed by AI-enabled systems.
Under the theme “One day. One discipline. Unlimited architectural impact,” the event will focus on integrating traditional software architecture with contemporary AI innovations. Key topics will include practical architectural strategies for developing production-ready, AI systems, covering areas such as agentic systems, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), API integration, cost management, governance, and ethical AI practices.
The conference will feature six informative sessions, each lasting 45 minutes and presented by experts in software architecture and artificial intelligence:
– From Classic to Intelligent Systems – An Architectural Transformation by Dr. Sönke Magnussen
– Architectural Patterns for Building AI-Intensive Systems by Prof. Dr. Holger Klus
– Beyond MCP: Scaling AI Enablement for API Landscapes by Dr. Erik Wilde
– Agentic RAG: The Best of Two (AI) Worlds by Lars Röwekamp
– Cost-Aware AI Architecture: Building Performant Systems Within Budget by Dimitri Blatner
– Responsible AI Operationalization by Dr. Larysa Visengeriyeva
All sessions will be conducted in English, with post-event access to recordings and presentation materials for attendees. The Software Architecture AI Day aims to foster professional dialogue, provide methodological insights, and enhance understanding of how AI can be holistically integrated into sustainable software architectures.
Supported by an advisory board including Mahbouba Gharbi (ITech Progress) and Dr. Sönke Magnussen (WPS – Workplace Solutions), the conference welcomes participants globally. Early Bird tickets are available until February 10, 2026, offering a €50 discount. For additional details and registration options, visit https://softwarearchitecture4ai-day.com/.
