Agile 2008 Conference

Anyone who is involved in, or wants to learn more about, agile development is invited to participate in the Agile2008 conference!

We are scaling up the conference for an ever-increasing and diverse agile community. After the sell-out of Agile2007 we are expanding to a larger venue which can hold an audience of 1600+ attendees. To facilitate this growth, Agile 2008 has adopted the metaphor of a music festival that provides multiple stages to attract audiences with common interests. The
stages within our program are designed and organized by experts (acting as stage producers) who are truly passionate about their particular areas. Each stage will have a feel of a smaller, focused mini-conference while still providing the conference attendee with wide choice of topics to choose
from.We believe this approach will allow the conference to scale, making it the biggest ever agile gathering!

You can find out more about the stages here.


We welcome submissions targeted at audiences of all experience levels (beginners, intermediate, advanced). You are invited to submit ideas and proposals for sessions to a specific stage via an online submission system.

If you are not sure which stage to submit, send an email


Please note that we are applying the core agile principles of iterative development and feedback to our review process. All proposals will be open to review by the community and expert reviewers. So the review can begin as soon as your submission is received. This will enable you to respond to
review feedback and adjust your session proposal before final acceptance decisions are made.

Research papers which require a traditional review process are using a different submission system available soon.

Best regards,
