What is it like to attend an Agile Open event?
Grow as an Agile Practitioner
It has been said that an open space conference, also called an unconference, contains all the things that happen in between the sessions at a regular conference. The networking with peers, the focused conversations around mutual topics of interest and the tremendous learning that happens when you talk to people with a wide variety of experience.
Marketplace of Ideas
An open space conference does not have a list of pre-selected speakers and topics. Instead, the attendees build the agenda around the topics they are interested in at that time. We call this the building of the marketplace of ideas. Our event has nine sessions, usually with five or six topic choices for each session. When the marketplace of ideas is complete, the sessions are listed out in a grid with time on the Y-axis and location on the X-axis
