Agile Open Holland 2010 Conference

Agile Open Holland is the conference by and for you! Organized by Agile Holland, it is an Open Space conference, where the program is made by the participants at the start of each conference day. You can propose discussions, workshops, simulations, games, coding dojos, whatever topics and formats you are passionate about and want to take responsibility for.

Since the conference is what you make it, you'll come back to work re-energized, filled with fresh ideas to make your work more fun, more productive and more profitable.

Sessions will be held in Dutch or English - at past conferences, we hosted participants from all over Europe.

Topics that were covered at past conferences:
• Ship of Fools
• Kanban
• Systems Thinking
• Test Driven Development with Mock Objects
• Retrospectives
• Lean software development
• Practical Tools for the Product Owner
• Multi Paradigm / Polyglot programming (in a dojo)
• Solution focused coaching
• Automated end-to-end testing
• The business of consulting

This year we are also particularly interested in:
• Lean startups
• Sustainable development practices for solo programmers
• The business of software
* Making sense of software development

...and of course anything you are interested in :-)

We welcome participants from all walks of life. Reflective practitioners who want to uncover better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it. In the past we had people who worked as programmers, coaches, testers, business analysts, CEOs, and even a corporate jester. You will get the most from Agile Open if you have some background in agile methods and processes.

So head on over to the registration page and join us for two days of fun exploration and learning.
