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.

Next week we are having a meet-up at E-Bay in Amsterdam. It is close to Amsterdam Zuid and the motor way. The talk is based on our talk at Belgium Testing days, which was very warmly received.

Importantly, the food and beer are free and, I also heard, Willem van den Ende is coming out of retirement to make an appearance!

The evening will suit anyone who is interested in social dynamics. It is very much in the mode of people and not process. For more details, click here.

On 4 February, 2011, Jurgen Appelo's new book Management 3.0 will be launched in the Donner Selexyz book store in Rotterdam.

SDTConf is an all open space conference providing software practitioners a platform to meet face-to-face and discuss/demonstrate simple design & testing principles/approaches.

At this conference you'll meet real, hands-on practitioners interested in peer-to-peer learning and exploration. We strive hard to avoid fluffy, marketing talks and other non-sense.

This Sunday, November 14, the 2nd ProductCamp – an unconference for product managers and product marketeers – will take place in Amsterdam.

Why is it an unconference?

First, it is free for everyone to attend. We will provide a location, food and drinks, and plenty of opportunities to share experience, discuss and network with colleagues from all over the Netherlands (and beyond).

Second, there are no attendees – everyone is a participant!
