“The Agile Conferences continues as the premiere event for the Agile community to assemble, share ideas and advance best practices that continue to revolutionize the way software is developed,” said Johanna Rothman, Agile 2009 conference chair. “Initial interest in this year’s conference is very strong and we’re pleased to open early registration to allow people time to secure the best deals on travel and lodging.”
In its seventh year, the Agile Conference provides independent software vendors, software consultants and in-house corporate development teams with the knowledge and shared experiences that lead to successful Agile programs. This year, the conference will broaden its scope to include an ever-increasing and diverse Agile community. Agile 2009 connects attendees with the foremost leaders in the Agile domain, enriching the collective body of knowledge and influencing the line of thought in the field.
