Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and in alignment with recent CDC guidelines recommending against gatherings of more than 50 people for a period of 2 months, as of 3/15/2020, we are postponing this event! Most likely, we will try to delay it until later in the year. If you have already purchased tickets and would like a refund, please contact events@aplnchicago.org

Our Theme This Year is drawing inspiration from the date of the conference -- May the Fourth (be with you), is known around the world as Star Wars Day. To wit, our fourth conference (Episode 4) is very much calling upon the rebels among us. Agility is becoming the mainstream way of developing products and systems in the professional world. But has the magical force that made agile special become lost? Our topics are going to focus on challenging the new normal -- is the spark still in there? And if not, how do we restore its power?

Episode IV – The Quest for (Real) Agility

It is a dangerous time for Agility. Rebels brandishing a shining manifesto challenged the supremacy of traditional PROJECT MANAGEMENT.

During the two decades conflict, an order of Agile Masters rose to prominence and ushered in a new age of self-organization and shared responsibility.

As the movement grew and replaced the old way of working, new players entered the fray adding to the scale and complexity of the landscape!

The rebellion has grown up, and become the new republic, and somewhere on this journey, the ways of Agility have become muted and all but lost.

Now a new generation of seekers has banded together to share experiences, teach new skills, and through learning, restore the power of True Agility to the galaxy…

We are actively building out the content for the event and will be accepting Topic submissions through the end of March. Please see the conference website at http://www.aplnchicago.org to see more details about volunteering, sponsoring, and the latest details on the event.
