SATURN 2008
April 28 – May 1, 2008
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

The SEI Software Architecture Technology User Network (SATURN) workshop brings together engineers, architects, technical managers, and product managers to exchange best practices in developing and acquiring software architectures and using them to build predictable, high-quality systems.

SATURN attendees will now have the opportunity to take two SEI courses at the workshop - and at a special workshop rate! The courses, Software Architecture: Principles and Practices and Documenting Software Architectures, are from the Software Architecture Professional Certificate Program.

When you attend this year’s SEI SATURN Workshop along with three of your coworkers, you can all save 10% on the price of the workshop AND one of two SEI courses colocated with the workshop April 28th and 29th. Register now!
