Agile2009 is building on the success of our last conference, when over 1500 people attended the conference in Toronto. Agile2009 continues with the metaphor of a festival with multiple stages to attract audiences with different interests. The stages within our program are designed and organized by experts (acting as stage producers) who are truly passionate about their particular areas. Each stage will have a feel of a smaller, focused mini-conference while providing the conference attendee with wide choice of topics to choose from.

You can more read about the stages by following the links below and also the overview of what types of sessions we are looking for.

Introducing the Stages!

Session Proposals

We held an open call for session proposals for experience reports, panels, tutorials, research papers, workshops, and activities for any of the above-mentioned stages via our online submission system. The session deadline was March 3rd and after that date no more session proposals can be made.

We applied the core agile principles of iterative development and feedback to our review process. All proposals are open to comments from the agile community and we have a team of expert reviewers ready to give you feedback. Please create an account and once you are logged in, you can browse sessions and reviews.

Selection decisions will be made by the stage producers based on reviews and what's a good fit for the audience they expect at their stage. To support this, each producer is working with their own team of expert reviewers, listed on the stage pages.

If you have any questions about how to propose a session, please send an email to program2009@agilealliance.org.

For questions about speaker compensation, please see the Speaker Compensation FAQ.

Session acceptances will be sent out mid-late April.
