*Call for candidate cities in the Agile Tour 2009. *
Act fast--the deadline for applications is:
* 15 may 2009*
The first edition of the Agile Tour attracted over 800 participants in 7
cities in France and Switzerland, all at no cost for attendees!
This unique event, which combined local networking with a fun way to learn
about agile, was highly appreciated and will therefore be extended another
year. In addition, we're offering the event to more cities--this is your
chance to bring the event to your city, and to be part of this new form of
communication, called 'Mass Communication', which demonstrates how the Agile
are able to mobilize to change their way of working.
The main objectives of the Agile Tour are constantly evolving, but are
currently:
*Objectives: *
- *Massively promote agility *
Our primary mission is to conduct a 'Mass Communication' about our
development practices throughout the month of October. We want to
communicate everywhere there is an audience in order to attract massive
attention to our new professional approach.
- *Share our visions of agility *
Since agility is constantly evolving, we want to be open to new horizons
while also contributing our understanding, interpretation and ideas to the
agile community.
- *Federate*
Encourage leadership in all regions of the world in the agile arena,
while being consistent with agile culture and self-organization.
- *Support*
Assist our colleagues and local businesses in their adoption of agility
*To help us locally or to participate as a "candidate city":
*
To build on the success of our last tour, we are calling upon you to
nominate any city that is likely to hold an "Agile Tour" conference in the
third quarter of 2009, and to be a point of contact for organizing the
event. Whether you are a novice or an experienced conference organizer, if
you identify with the objectives above, do not hesitate to propose your
city. You will receive all the support of our international teams who
organized the previous Agile Tour.
This year, AgileTour will be bigger than ever and we are counting on your
local presence to make it happen.
Applications will be considered during the following 2 sessions: 1st
session: 28 April 2009
2nd session: 19 May 2009
For more information on organizing this event, please contact us at:
board@AgileTour.com or find a local organizer at

The AgileTour2009 Team
