Our Call for Speakers is now closed

The conference is centred on ways of working and thinking that get things done with teams, improving agility, productivity, engagement, and enjoyment.  We don’t mind if you call that agile, DevOps, lean or something else, it’s all about improving and unlocking potential, regardless of your personal or organisational start point.

We are looking for...

Themes - culture, collaboration, transformation and change, sustainable pace, leadership, coaching, planning, effective methods of working with groups, including users and stakeholders.  We also value case studies and hard won practical experience - we are not interested in sales pitches.  

Fresh perspectives - new lenses on long-term challenges, we're looking for practical, inspiring, novel sessions that our participants can learn from and engage with. Be bold, teach us something new, make us think, make us smile, be yourself - authenticity is important - you don’t have to follow agile fashion.

Practical approaches - we want participants to hear and experience things they can try in their work. Sure there will be some deep theory but it will be blended with take away points that can be applied later.

Authenticity & inspiration - our speakers will be people who have experience, and can share it with others, enabling them to learn and experiment. We value substance over style, and that means a range of levels of speaking skills - we welcome submissions from any industry, role, background and experience level. 

Inclusivity & diversity
We aim to be inclusive and diverse, both in terms of the speakers in our programme and participants at the event. We welcome people from all domains, who may not self-describe as using agile and have techniques, or critiques, that others could learn from. Our review process is anonymous to ensure selection based on merit and not how well a speaker is known. 

This is an opportunity for both experienced and first-time speakers to share experiences of the practical application of agile and lean techniques. If you are still in the early stages of your speaking career and would like additional support then contact us to discuss how we can support you further.

We provide - a safe and fun place to share ideas, try something new, get feedback and engage with a knowledgeable, open minded audience. We have a Code of Conduct that describes expected behaviour.

The conference attracts all levels of industry practitioner, particularly within digital businesses, who are focussing on managing their roles and teams in an agile and lean manner. The event runs in the London timezone and welcomes professionals from all over the world. People who want skills that they can use and ideas they can share.
