Event Modeling in Practice

Event Modeling is a novel, collaborative method where technical and non-technical stakeholders use an "events-first" approach to describe how a system changes state over time, thereby visualizing a shared understanding of a business domain and yielding a blueprint for system design and implementation.

Though the appeal of Event Modeling lies in its simplicity, there is a shortage of information regarding commonly used patterns and practices, especially for advanced use cases; in this session, after an overview of the method, its building blocks, and advantages, Marc Klefter will draw upon his experience from applying Event Modeling in a wide range of enterprise areas to offer practical insights into critical modeling aspects. Marc will further showcase how architectural concerns can be derived from an event model, with a special focus on messaging and Event Sourcing.

If you engage in and seek innovative approaches to domain modeling and system design, this session is for you. Come away with the requisite know-how to successfully apply - and benefit from - Event Modeling in your business domain, and a clear pathway for translating modeling outcomes to a system in production.
