EA Forum

The EA forum is a social network event sponsored by the Open Group in South Africa. The EA forum started in 2005 and occurs every second month or so in the major centres with one event each in Pretoria, Johannesburg and Cape Town. At the EA forum, industry leaders share their experiences and knowledge of architecture and related topics. Real-world case studies highlight how business problems are solved using the discipline and practice of architecture. The event is obviously also an opportunity for peers, colleagues and industry players to network and collaborate.
