About AgileNZ Conference

Following the success of the 2015 Conference, we ran a series of retrospectives and an Impact Mapping session to assess the core purpose, objectives and strengths of the Conference. We also assessed our understanding of the values and needs of the Agile community, which to us is the heartbeat of Agile. We came to an important understanding – that the community is extremely good at grass roots engagement but often lacks the funding and scale to engage international speakers and run a conference of the size of AgileNZ. Assurity Consulting (I am Assurity’s GM for Auckland) provides these things and takes on board all the event risk. Assurity's focus has been – and always will be – 'to deliver the framework for the community to engage'. If you’ve been to Conference before, you’ll understand the effort and organisation that goes into using that framework to make the event so successful. In 2016, we’re committing to creating a community-based Speaker Submissions Panel. In addition, I’d love to hear about any ideas you have to continue growing this exception community event.
