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 landscape 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.
