Make an impact as an IT leader at LeanIX Connect Summit

We want you to speak at a LeanIX Summit 2023. Here’s why you should too.

If you had 30 minutes to speak to a room full of the most innovative thinkers in tech, what would you say?

How could you make an impact? What could you pass on to your fellow peers in enterprise architecture and IT that would help them make a difference in their organisation and industry?

You now have a chance to find out.

We’d like you to answer our Call for Papers for the LeanIX Connect Summits 2023 and submit your talk proposal that’ll inspire others.

2023 marks a trailblazing year for LeanIX Connect Summits, adding more in-person events to our lineup than ever, with locations in:


This year’s theme is ‘Impact for a better tomorrow’, which focuses on how CIOs, CISOs, and enterprise architects moving out of a governance role and into a strategic role can drive meaningful impacts on:

    •    Sustainability (how strategic tech can lower emissions)
    •    Innovation (making better products)
    •    Customers (creating amazing experiences)
    •    Employees (ensuring engagement and retention)

Here are 3 reasons why you should apply.

1. Position yourself as a thought leader to your network

Want to make a name for yourself in the EA and IT industry? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to show the industry, brands, and peers alike that you are an expert in your field.

You’ll be able to showcase how you and your team are making impacts internally and externally. Whether it’s in enterprise architecture, SaaS management, cloud governance, microservices or any technology subjects relevant for transformation, we want to hear what you have to say!
This will not only get your name out there as an industry thought leader, but promote your organisation to the world as one of the IT trailblazers in transformation.

In ten year’s time, you could look back at a more decorated career and thriving business and think: “It all started at LeanIX Connect Summit 2023!”

2. Impact the day-to-day lives and agendas of EA and IT

Your talk can influence how thousands of CIOs, CISOs, enterprise architects and other IT specialists succeed in 2023 and beyond.

Enterprise architecture is coming down from its ivory tower, leaving behind the academic exercise of diagramming the current state to focus on delivering real business impact.

At the same time, we see the pressure mounting on CIOs to move out of a maintenance and governance role and into a strategic role.

You can help give practical, applicable, and achievable advice for people to demonstrate value in their company in the age of strategy, and inspire them to elevate their ability to make real-world change.

3 . Join the likes of Southwest Airlines, SAP, and Deloitte

LeanIX Connect is one of the most hotly anticipated events on the IT and enterprise architecture calendar, and you could be part of a sparkling line up that has hosted some of the biggest brand names out there.

In the past we’ve had speakers from brands like Bosch, Deloitte, Southwest Airlines, PWC, Accenture, Workday, and many others.

Speaking at one of our LeanIX Connect Summits will give you the opportunity to network with some of the industry’s biggest players face-to-face (or virtually) and see what you can learn from them.
