The summit serves as a global forum for professionals to exchange strategies on applying architectural frameworks to complex business challenges. Organizers are looking for submissions covering a broad spectrum of topics, including artificial intelligence integration, digital transformation, risk management, and strategy execution. Prospective speakers from corporations, government agencies, and academic institutions are encouraged to highlight meaningful outcomes and lessons learned from their direct experience in the field.

John Faulkenberry, a member of the Guild’s board, noted that the most significant advancements in the profession originate from practitioners solving real-world problems. By sharing these experiences, the event aims to translate individual projects into collective knowledge. To maintain a focus on practical application, the Guild requests that solution and service providers co-present alongside a practitioner or executive from a client organization. The deadline for all abstract submissions is October 16, 2026. Participants may choose to present in person or virtually, with those holding CBA status eligible for 10 CEU credits.
