AgileNZ
We've had two days of outstanding talks and non-stop conversation – on the floor, across social media and well beyond these shores. Over 1500 super intelligent tweets helped promote and spread new thinking and ideas about improving software delivery.
Together, we achieved two million Twitter impressions and a reach of over 250,000. That’s from 200 active users on #AgileNZConf. Are we networked or what? Thanks to everyone who helped get the conversation out there.
Thanks too to our speakers! Keynotes Gojko Adzic, Tobias Mayer, Eric Willeke and Ben Hayman delivered powerful talks that got conference humming to new tunes. Our local speakers riffed in harmony. The playlist of ideas is long, strong and bang on!
You can tell a good conference just by looking at people’s faces and watching their hands. I saw miles of smiles and active hands everywhere. It’s good to talk right? And to meet some big challenges too. For ourselves in organising AgileNZ Conference 2014 and trying to make it better than ever. We hope we’ve met that one – please give us your feedback!
And we challenged conference delegates to help New Zealand on a journey to improve productivity through technology innovation. I hope Conference gave you the courage, tools, ideas and motivation to meet that challenge. It will be a never-ending journey but it should be incredibly exciting to see what difference we can make.
Finally, AgileNZ could not have happened without our supporters. Thanks to Assurity Consulting for your vision and for making it happen. To our sponsors for your presence – we hope you enjoyed your time and got good value. And, of course, to all the delegates who gave up working time in favour of learning time. You made AgileNZ Conference 2014 really buzz.
So that’s a wrap. The show maybe over, but the conversation isn’t. Let’s keep talking, And get the ideas we’ve learned at ‘our place’* working at your place.
See you in September 2015.
