We are excited to announce that the Global Software Architecture Summit will return for its third edition: GSAS 2023. This event, organized by Apiumhub, is a conference dedicated to software architects to enhance their skills, exchange valuable insights and connect with like-minded individuals. Whether you are a professional, an inspiring architect, or simply someone passionate about building software systems, GSAS is a unique opportunity to engage with leaders in the industry. Last year, GSAS 2022 counted over 450 attendees, and this year the event will be even bigger!
