geechs inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and CEO: Norihito Sonehara; hereinafter "geechs") will hold a free seminar for IT engineers and development organization managers titled "What is an 'IT Architect' Needed in the AI Era, as Told by a CEO - Thinking Methods to Discuss Technology from a Business Perspective" from 19:30 to 21:00 on Thursday, April 23, 2026.
Background of the Seminar
At geechs, we regularly conduct seminars for IT engineers and IT engineer recruiters. This time, under the theme of "IT Architects in the AI Era," we will welcome Shinobu Mikami, CEO of Bayfront Architect LLC, as a speaker. As the role of engineers is redefined by the spread of AI, he will talk about "technology selection with a business perspective" that goes beyond mere implementation skills, and "thinking methods to be chosen by CTOs and management layers," interweaving real-life examples from large-scale projects such as smart cities.
We hope that engineers who want to learn IT architect orientation to become high-end engineers, those who want to know the decisive differences between junior and senior engineers in the AI era and the realistic evaluation criteria of management, and those who want to be involved in architecture design and technology selection utilizing multi-cloud and the latest AI tools will participate to increase their own market value.
In today's world where development automation is advancing, the importance of "architects" who can convert technology into business value is increasing. Through this seminar, we aim to help participants heighten their resolution as an "engineer who gets chosen" and who will not be replaced by AI, gaining hints to pioneer their next-generation careers.
