Our conference program team met on-site recently at the Gaylord Rockies Resort and Convention Center to put together the agenda for Agile2025. The team worked to ensure the selected sessions for each of our conference tracks flowed together to create an incredible three-day learning event. Joined by the events team and Agile Alliance staff members, we also worked through the logistics of the conference space plan to create the best experience for attendees at the now three-day Agile conference.
We asked the Agile2025 Program Team to share a quick preview of just one thing about the conference that they are most excited about. You can view each of their responses below.
