We’re pleased to announce that the next edition of the iSAQB® Software Architecture Gathering (SAG) will once again take place in Berlin, Germany, from November 16-19, 2026. Organized by the International Software Architecture Qualification Board (iSAQB®) in cooperation with heise conferences, SAG is the leading international conference for software architecture professionals – from early-career architects to seasoned leaders.
Over the years, SAG has become a central platform for high-quality knowledge exchange, real-world experience, and new ideas in software architecture. The event brings together architects, technical leaders, and decision-makers from across the globe.
After strong demand for SAG 2025, which sold out weeks before the event, SAG 2026 will move to a new venue: Titanic Chaussee Berlin. The new location offers more space for attendees, sponsors, exhibitors, and community interaction in a welcoming, high-quality environment — while preserving the personal atmosphere, focused exchange, and professional dialogue that have always defined SAG.
Call for papers is now open!
We’re looking for engaging talks and hands-on workshops that provide real value for software architecture practitioners. We welcome proposals that offer deep technical insights, practical experience reports, architectural decision-making approaches, leadership perspectives, or new ideas that help shape the future of software architecture.
