SFIA Week 2026: Provisional Programme
We're pleased to share our first look at SFIA Week 2026, building on the success of the SFIA 9 Release Week in 2024 and the ANZ-led event in November 2025.
SFIA Week is a global celebration of SFIA and its contribution to shaping the future of digital capability. Led by the SFIA Foundation in collaboration with Partner and User organisations, this community-driven initiative brings together participants from around the world to share experiences, explore best practices, and discover how SFIA is being applied across different regions, sectors, and organisations.

- Monday 16 November - Introductions to the framework, how it is structured, and how organisations typically start.
- Tuesday 17 to Thursday 19 November - Describe what the community are doing with SFIA.
- Friday 20 November- The final day is for partners, vendors and service providers to showcase products, services and solutions.
The following draft programme provides an overview of the types of events anticipated during SFIA Week 2026. Please note that the events listed below are intended as a guide only and may evolve as new topics of interest emerge and additional contributions are received.
