Agile2022 Submissions
The Call for Submissions is Now Closed
We’re focused on bringing together Agile practitioners and learners from around the world. The information on this page is essential for submitting your proposal. Included below are tips for writing a good proposal, the speaker benefits, and other information to get you started. We encourage you to review this entire page before beginning the submission process.
What We’re Looking For
We’re looking forward to being back together in person! Virtual is an excellent fall-back strategy, but nothing matches the networking and conversation possibilities of being face-to-face (while masked, of course). We are currently accepting submissions for the following presentation types: 60-Minute Talks with 15 minutes of Q&A, 75-minute Workshops, and three-hour Deep Dive workshops.
60-Minute Talks
One-hour informative or instructional talk on an Agile topic followed by 15-minute Q&A with your audience.
Deep Dive Workshops
These three-hour workshops are designed to provide a more in-depth exploration of a topic or practice. To accommodate and interact with the larger audience for these Wednesday Workshop sessions, we encourage working with a co-facilitator (who will also receive an honorarium package.)
75-Minute Workshops
A lively workshop that is designed to teach or develop a certain set of skills. Workshops are focused on collaborative learning through a mix of instruction and practical interactive exercises.
Panels, Keynotes, and Other Session Types
These types of sessions are arranged outside of the submission process. Please contact us if you have an idea for a keynote or panel discussion.
Your Voice is Important
If English is not your primary language, don’t let this stop you from submitting a proposal! Our goal is to make this a diverse and inclusive event, and we will help you refine your proposal and build your talk. English is the primary language for the event, but we have an opportunity to provide translation capabilities.

New Speaker or Need Help Writing a Proposal?
We want to help you share your thoughts, ideas, and experiences with other Agile practitioners. Regardless of whether you are a first-time speaker or someone who has lots of stage experience, we know that we cannot address all of the questions you may have here. With that, we have some tips for you to follow:
- Before you begin, please read the Program and Tracks information and our Submission Tips pages
- Do your best to complete all sections on the submission form
- Request feedback and then act on that feedback
- All content must adhere to the Agile Alliance Code of Conduct
- You must obtain the right to use any copyrighted materials you include in your talks or workshops. Ask us for information if you’re uncertain about fair-use guidelines
Speaker Remuneration
Speakers who present at Agile2022 will receive complimentary conference registration and 4 nights accommodation at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel. For a talk or 75-minute workshop session, 1 presenter will receive an honorarium; for a three-hour workshop, 2 co-facilitators will be eligible for an honorarium.
What is our Review Process?
The conference team uses a fair and thoughtful process to review all submissions. This includes having multiple reviewers go over each submission and providing feedback as requested to improve the topics. It is essential that you ask for feedback, check for updates and make improvements based on the reviewer’s suggestions. This will increase your chances of being selected.
