Cool stuff
Open Space, Workshops and Lightning Talks.
Open Space
A massive amount of learning. Many different sessions to choose from.
If this is the first time you are attending an Open Space event, you will not only learn about Leading your Agile Transformation, but also see a powerful tool to conduct meetings of pretty much any size.
Often nicknamed as “Unconference”, the style and format of an Open Space event is uniquely different. Through pure self-organization, Open Space brings agile values to life and it does not come as a surprise that the Agile Alliance created an initiative for open space adoption and hosts their own event using this style world-wide. Walk away with proceedings, an artifact that will capture our decisions, findings and recommendations.
Workshops
Take advantage of the workshops delivered by the most respected speakers and trainers around
Short workshops are given around the theme of Scaling Agility. There will be 2 workshops to provide introduction to the scaling frameworks of SAFe and Nexus. Niels Pflaeging delivers a workshop that always inspires controversy thinking - be prepared to be challenged! Another exciting workshop is in the works and will be revealed soon.
Lightning Talks
Short presentations - different areas of interest!
Lightning talks are designed to be short presentations. Lightning talks are brief which requires the speaker to make their point clearly and rid the presentation of non-critical information. The goal of lightning talks is to articulate a topic in a quick, insightful, and clear manner. These concise and efficient talks are intended to grab the attention of the audience, convey key information, and allow for several presenters to share their ideas in a brief period of time
The Venue for Agile Munich 2019
The Münchner Künstlerhaus is dependent on sponsoring.
Agile Munich 2019 directly contributes to preserving this beautiful historic building
Münchner Künstlerhaus
Lenbachplatz 8 Munich
“The house shall be a meeting place for all artists of Munich, a center of cheerfulness, advice and serious deed”, said the charter which was read at the groundbreaking ceremony of Münchner Künstlerhaus in 1893 and which was then sealed in the foundation stone.
The Muenchner Kuenstlerhaus is a central element in the history of Munich. And within walking distance of e.g. the Marienplatz!
The Rooms
Rooms that inspire
The Künstlerhaus has many beautiful and versatile rooms. And this is ideal for Agile Munich 2018, where we scale from an all-together gathering at the key note and the start of the Open Space, towards break-out rooms for the Open Space sessions and on Friday to smaller, modern rooms for the Master Classes.
Some of our drinks will be in the Foyer with magnificent vaulted ceilings. Check out the website for more pictures.
Munich
Enjoy the city in Spring
Munich, Bavaria’s capital, is home to centuries-old buildings and numerous museums. The city is known for its annual Oktoberfest celebration and its beer halls, including the famed Hofbräuhaus, founded in 1589.
In the Altstadt (Old Town), central Marienplatz square contains landmarks such as Neo-Gothic Neues Rathaus (town hall), with a popular glockenspiel show that chimes and reenacts stories from the 16th century.
