Programme

OT99 - Europe's best skills transfer event

This is the seventh OT conference: the event has established an enviable reputation for exploring new technologies and breaking new ground in the practice of software architecture, design, and development. At the same time, the conference maintains a practical and experience-based approach to its subject matter. Careful planning also ensures that OT retains the intimacy and cohesion for which it is famous.

...where the experts learn

'The OT conference is where experts gather to learn' says David Harvey, this year's conference chair. 'It is set up specifically to circulate know-how, but without the sales bias you get at trade shows, and without the theoretical flavour of some conferences. All the sessions are interactive - we believe you learn best by doing.'

The conference has a tradition of active participation. You'll find that the conference sessions bring people together to work and learn - in most cases, sessions are highly interactive, involving participants and session leaders on an equal footing.
