Open Space
We included an Open Space
The Open Space was ideal for people to connect on a more intimate level. They share the same passion for a topic, real issues were discussed and connections are made for for life. At the same time we ran a series of talks parallel for those who did not want to participate in the Open Space.
Gamification
More fun and learning through gamification
This year we added some gamification elements. A fun way to learn new things and to take away for use at your own company!
Master Classes
Deep enrichment
The Master Classes were again very populair. Acquired knowledge and interest from the event are further deepened. The aim is always for the participants to take away stuff that can be applied in their own company. Value you can turn into practice!

Agile Amsterdam truly nourishes and develops the Agile mindset.
What did our audience say?
We received a score of 4.5 out of 5! (150 respondents)
'An inspiring event that I did not want to miss out on!' - Gamebasics'Great, provocative, learning and very agile event' - Renze J. Klamer'High-energy and inspiring event on a beautiful location, with great speakers and even better attendees' - Arthur von KriegenberghA selection of our 2017 speakers
Jeff Sutherland, Niels Pflaeging, Jurgen Appelo, Spotify and more
The theme was Agile Leadership. Our general consensus is that the companies are still run top-down with little agility, while the staff executing the work are really trying to work agile. This leads to contradictions.
