Information on Agile Alliance’s 2017 Conferences

To continue to meet the professional needs of our employees, Velocity Partners provides a range of training and development opportunities including workshops and conferences that focus around technical practices and Agile/Scrum software development processes.   We are an active member of the Agile Alliance, and our leadership team conducts not only our own Agile seminar series but are regular contributors at the organization’s conferences. 

This year’s annual Agile Alliance conference, Agile2017, will be held on August 7 - 11 at the Rosen Shingle Creek in Orlando, FL.  The focus of the conference is dedicated to furthering Agile principles and providing a venue for people and ideas to flourish.  Agile2017 expects to have people from over 40 countries, and attendees will have their choice of 250 Agile Sessions as well as insightful Keynotes from the world’s top experts and thought leaders.  The conference will also provide an opportunity for social interaction and networking events.

Another conference of note from the organization is the Agile Alliance Technical Conference that takes place on April 19 - 21 at the Boston Park Plaza Hotel in Boston, MA.  This conference focuses on exploring the emerging and growing set of Agile Engineering practices.  Agile Alliance states the conference will highlight Agile’s move from strictly developer-focused toward a more “multi-disciplinary field that now includes practices from operations, testing, data science, and infrastructure/cloud engineering.”  The conference will offer practitioners in all of the involved fields to share and discuss new advances, hear from the experts and explore a wide range of topics.

As you see, while we are firm believers in the power of distributed Agile, it does not mean we apply pressure to our customers to adopt the model in the same way.  Instead we work with each client to integrate Agile into their existing processes in whatever way is most comfortable.  Contact us to learn more.
