Agile Open Northern California 2026 - Evolving the Art of Collaboration

Collaboration is changing. And so is the work that asks us to collaborate.

In a world shaped by constant change — and increasingly by AI — the way we work together matters more than ever. It’s no longer enough to rely on frameworks, roles, or good intentions alone.

At Agile Open Northern California 2026, we explore collaboration as a living, evolving art.

An art that requires presence, judgment, and care.

An art that works with tension rather than avoiding it.

An art that honors both human complexity and the systems we’re embedded in.

This gathering brings together people who care deeply about the craft of working well together — seasoned practitioners and industry veterans, Agile coaches and software builders, and those just beginning their careers and shaping how work will be done next.

The future of work is not just about speed or efficiency. It’s about how we make sense together. How we decide together. How we stay human — and effective — in environments that constantly pull us apart.

What does collaboration look like when:

• authority is distributed,
• intelligence is augmented by machines,
• and outcomes emerge rather than being controlled?

This is an invitation to practice with those questions — not to converge on answers, but to explore what becomes possible when we engage them together.

Join us at Agile Open Northern California 2026 as we evolve the art of collaboration — and, with it, the future of our work.
