Final Call for Speaker Proposals for the Agile 2011 Conference Set for Monday, February 14

Conference organizers welcome submissions targeted at audiences of all experience levels (beginners, intermediate, advanced). The Agile Alliance provides suggested tips for writing and submitting a successful speaker proposal at (http://agile2011.agilealliance.org/speaker-info/successful-proposal/). Interested individuals are then encouraged to submit ideas and proposals for sessions via an online submission system at (http://agile2011.agilealliance.org/speaker-info/).

"The Agile Conference is about community building, learning from peers and sharing experiences that can be useful in advancing the successful implementation of Agile methods," said Todd Little, Agile 2011 conference chair. "I encourage software development practitioners to check out the 17 different stage topics and to submit a proposal for this year's conference that will also celebrate the 10-year-anniversary of the signing of the Agile Manifesto."

Agile 2011 offers multiple 'stages' to attract audiences with different interests.

    --  Adoption and Transformation
    --  Agile Boot Camp
    --  Agile for Embedded Systems Development
    --  Agile Show and Tell - Lightning Talks

    --  Leadership
    --  New Horizons and New Voices
    --  Research at Work
    --  Testing and Quality Assurance
    --  User Experience and Interaction Design

Agile 2011 aims to connect attendees with the foremost leaders in the Agile domain, enriching the collective body of knowledge and influencing the line of thought in the field. It encourages debate and fosters innovative ideas based on real-world implementations for executives, managers, software development practitioners and researchers from labs and academia.
