The Agile20Reflect Festival is delighted to be hosting this event, which aims to explore the critical topic of ethics.

In setting up the festival, a lot of time was spent a on developing the Community Policy and debating, amongst ourselves, behaviour that we deem acceptable and unacceptable. As we grow as a community, and more and more people come in with different backgrounds, cultural experiences and expectations, the need for a common ethical code seems essential.

In this debate, chaired by Sathpal, Padmini, Shane, Daniel and Scott will discuss the key challenges and urgencies, and explore things we can do to self-regulate as a community.

Come along and ask the panel the tough questions!
Let’s explore this critical topic together.
