Welcome Folks! This is the first Global Community led Agile Festival!
And as we learn how to do this we want to explain why it’s not a conference so here goes…
At our Free Agile Festival you can host, or do anything that you want at any time in February 2021. Co-badge it with us and we will advertise your event or activity on our central programme and we will keep a copy of your event or research for people that are unable to attend to make use of free in the future.
It’s a simple idea, come be creative and share your passion! In our world community party!!!
Our watch words are – Curiosity, Collaboration, Community, Humanity, Dialogue and Fun!
Ambassadors are the key to being Global Inclusive Festival
So here is what we are doing. We are getting a fleet of Ambassadors across the world to work locally with companies, groups and local meet-ups to host events around the world. Hosting events and activities on local languages and culturally appropriate to wherever they are happening. Perhaps planting the growth of Agile Communities around the world.

Central Programme and the Volunteer Speaker Directory
We register those events in a central programme and people can see all the events on our website and get links to book those events. That’s the Global, Local events. To help the local groups and the Ambassadors we have a directory of Speakers willing to talk at events around the world. This is the Volunteer Speaker Directory and it’s free to get on there. We are hoping some big names will show their Agile Community credentials and register there to be available to speak at local events around the world.
Themes and Events
The events and activities are to be focused on he Past, Present or possible Future of Agile. All events are recorded and those recordings become part of a lasting research data set like Agile Ted Talks. In the future people can use those events to self learn and create their own learning paths. And all of that is free for everyone. We really hope that all organisations take part and unlock their creativity to put really interesting creative experiences into the programme.
What kind of events
Anyone can do anything as long as it’s related to Agile or the Agile community. We will just be doing a light safety, code of conduct check. If we get 2000 Complaint events we will be happy to have them on the programme. So dust off all your ideas you had for conferences that did not make the cut. Why will this be awesome? The reason is because we will have the greatest, inclusivity and diversity of ideas, learnings, retros and hopefully future improvements. *All events comply to our Community Code of Conduct
Reflections and Improvements
Perhaps like our New Year’s Eve we can all have our own local, corporate and association Reflections and Improvements. It’s really just that simple. Dream your idea, register it with us and in February 2021 we can all experience truly amazing events all around the world and have the record of all of that variety and diversity available for future learning – like TED talks.
