26 NOVEMBER 2026 - ON AN ONLINE DEVICE NEAR YOU
The Enterprise Architecture Show
ABOUT
What’s switchON all about?
switchON brings together Enterprise Architects, technology leaders & change makers to share what’s really happening inside organisations. No ivory towers, no recycled presentations & no sitting on the fence.
It’s a place to challenge thinking, exchange practical experience, discover new ideas & connect with the architects shaping what comes next. Making EA work in large complex organisations is very different to EA theory - switchON provides the venue to showcase how architects make EA work in the real world.
Community
Connect with a community of architects that understand your challenges & opportunities. Share experiences, build meaningful relationships & learn from people who are pushing the boundaries
Insight
We empower speakers to discuss the challenges & experiences that are most valuable to them - straight talking ideas & perspectives with no agenda other than to enrich the community.
Challenge
We believe the best conversations happen when conventional thinking is challenged. Hear different perspectives, question the status quo & explore how EA must adapt to meet business challenges.
Impact
Architecture is about more than frameworks & technology, it’s about making change happen. Discover new ways to demonstrate value, influence decisions & create meaningful impact.
