Oscar van der Leij will facilitate interactive discussions around architecture dilemmas submitted by participants, allowing architects to explore real-world challenges collaboratively.

The session will conclude with a technical presentation by Simon Brown, who is internationally recognized as the creator of the C4 model for visualizing software architecture. His approach provides four levels of abstraction for architecture diagramming: Context diagrams showing system context and external dependencies, Container diagrams illustrating high-level technology choices, Component diagrams detailing component-level design, and Code diagrams revealing code-level implementation details.
