Here's your chance to be a key part of the Lightning Talk session on Wednesday 3 September (4:30pm, Angus Room) and share your thoughts, ideas, work and experience. The session is designed to give attendees the opportunity to review as many exciting ideas as possible in a short space of time. No time for detail. Just to give them enough to inspire them to search out your work.

He is a leading figure in the government adoption of Agile in the UK, working with digital services and suppliers to extend the GOV.UK platform and complete the transition of over 300 agencies into a single domain.

There are just over four weeks to go until AgileNZ Conference 2014 and we're incredibly excited by the number of people who have already booked to be there – so many in fact that we've had to add another room and reconfigure presentation arrangements. In short, Oceania will now be used exclusively for breaks, lunch and our sponsors' expo. It means that we'll have much more space dedicated to mixing and socialising with each other.
It’s fantastic news that our three AgileNZ Conference 2014 keynote speakers – Gojko Adzic, Tobias Mayer and Eric Willeke – have all agreed to deliver four pre- and post-Conference Workshops in Wellington during their visit to NZ.
