ARC: Software Architecture & Engineering Conference

ARC: Software Architecture & Engineering Conference Real-world Practice, Architectural Excellence, and Knowledge Sharing in the Era of AI.

ARC (Architecture, Real-world Practice, Complexity) is a practitioner-led software architecture and engineering conference based in the UAE, created to serve the region’s growing community of senior engineers, architects, and technology leaders. ARC was founded on a simple principle: the most valuable engineering knowledge comes from real systems, real constraints, and real lessons learned. In a l

andscape often dominated by hype and vendor messaging, ARC is intentionally vendor-neutral, technically rigorous, and focused on depth over breadth. Curated by experienced practitioners and guided by a Scientific and Program Committee of respected industry and academic leaders, ARC brings together voices shaping modern software systems across the UAE, MENA, and beyond. Our mission is to elevate engineering practice, encourage peer learning, and establish the UAE as a trusted home for world-class technical dialogue.

Join the ARC Community for free

The hardest part of working at the architecture level isn't making decisions. It's making them without knowing what your peers are actually seeing in production.

ARC Community is where practitioners across MENA close that gap. Free webinars, peer exchange, masterclasses and technical discussion grounded in real systems, covering the full spectrum from Distributed Systems and Cloud Native to AI and Data Systems and Platform Engineering.

If you're a software architect, senior engineer, or technical leader who wants signal over noise, this is worth ten minutes of your time.
