Keynotes
We're very excited to announce our confirmed keynote speakers for the Agile Tour Vienna 2019!
The Agile Tour Vienna is a non-profit event that brings together experts, practioners and anyone else interested in agile software development.
We are looking to find the perfect balance between international experts on Agile Development and practitioners from the local community.
The primary conference language is German, but we also welcome talks in English and look forward to exchanging ideas and insights with international participants.
"The Selfish Team Player"
"Agility ≠ Speed"
"The Bungsu Story - an inspirational story"
A summary of the entire Agile Tour history can be found on our wiki.
We invite all agile practitioners to present at the Agile Tour Vienna 2019. In the previous years we had a good mixture of German and English talks, so contributions in both languages are welcome.
The Call for Proposals for the main track is open until Sunday, 30 June 2019.
The Call for Proposals for the "Young Talents" track is open until Saturday, 1 June 2019.
The Review Team will finish the selection of talks for the "Young Talents" track by the middle of June, and for the main track by middle of July. Everyone who submitted a proposal will be informed once the decision is final. Speakers will receive a free ticket for the Agile Tour Vienna 2019. The Agile Tour Vienna is a non-profit community event which aims to keep ticket prices low. Therefore, it is not possible to cover travel expenses or pay a speaking fee.
The conference takes place on Friday, September 20, 2019.
