XpDay London, 11th & 12th December 2008
Building on the success of the last seven conferences, XTC brings you the UK’s premier Agile Software Development event. XpDay is returning to its roots, focussing on “by practitioners, for practitioners”. The Agile community has grown and matured over the years we’ve been running XpDay, so now we want an event that helps practitioners collectively advance the State of the Art.
We’ve changed the structure of XpDay to match our new ambition. We have two remarkable keynotes, and just two tracks of presented sessions including tutorials and experience reports. The rest will be an Open Space where attendees can discover more about the topics that interest them most. Each day, we’ll also start with a Lightning Talks session where delegates can raise topics for the Open Space, or just make a point. And, of course, we’ll still have our famous evening social events.
