I would like to invite you to Agile Open Holland, which will take place on 3 & 4 November in Dieren, The Netherlands.

Agile Open Holland is an open space conference. This means all attendees can propose sessions on the spot. The other attendees then choose which sessions they want to participate in - whoever comes are the right people!

XP Days Benelux (1 & 2 December 2011) is the premier agile conference in the Benelux, intended for people from all walks of life who want to uncover better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it. XP Days Benelux is made for, and made by, the Agile Community. It focuses on practical knowledge, real-world experience, and active participation of everyone.

You can be a presenter at XP Days Benelux. It's a great learning experience and you'll meet plenty of people interested in the same topic or struggling with the same issues as you are. And you get a free ticket to both days of the conference.
