Software Architecture Summit 2026
The Software Architecture Summit is the German-language training event that Entwickler.de Akademie bills as "das große Trainingsevent für moderne Softwarearchitektur", aimed at software architects, senior developers and technical decision-makers. The 2026 Berlin edition runs 12–16 October at the Maritim proArte Hotel Berlin, with three workshop days followed by two-day deep-dive bootcamps. The programme is split across four tracks — Software Architecture, AI & Architecture, Beyond Architecture, and Modeling & Design — covering coding agents, harness engineering and GenAI-based documentation, contract-first design, Model Context Protocol, evaluations and observability, and agentic architectures. A second strand focuses on architecture that grows out of the domain: DDD, hexagonal structures and collaborative modelling, alongside pragmatic legacy modernisation via team habits and the "1% method" rather than a big-bang rewrite. Two bootcamps extend the week: "GenAI-basierte Lösungs-Architekturen", on context engineering and integrating GenAI into existing architectures in a secure, scalable and AI-Act-compliant way, and the "AI Engineering Bootcamp", on RAG, MCP and end-to-end MLOps pipelines for production-ready AI systems. The organisers advertise four training tracks, three workshop days, two bootcamps and more than 3,000 participants.
