Vasco Duarte
Hey, how are you doing? Vasco Duarte here, your host on the Scrum Master Toolbox podcast. And with a special announcement as I hold right now, as I record this, I hold in my hand the signed contract with the hotel and venue where you all will be staying in our very first Global Agile Summit 2025. We're all in now. We're so excited. I didn't want to wait announce this event to you. It's the seventh year, we start in 2017, that we organize Agile Summits for you all. But this is special. It will be the first time when I get to talk to you directly, meet face to face and finally shake your hand. It's going to be our Global Agile Summit 2025, our in person event. We will all meet in Tallinn, Estonia, May 18, May 20 of 2025. So save the date because it's going to be awesome. Here's what the Global Agile Summit 2025 is. It's going to be the highest impact, most real life focused set of first person stories in the Agile universe. We're really pulling all the stops to bring you all kinds of amazing real life stories that show that Agile is not only working, it's working massively for many of us out there. And we bring those stories to life and share those with you, our amazing community. This is the event where real life practitioners come and share what's working for them and what's having an impact. It's a community event. It's you who make this event possible. Thanks for supporting the Scrum Master Toolbox podcast and we also have a great team of people from all over the world working hard right now to bring you the Global Agile Summit. Tallinn, Estonia, May 18th to 20th, 2025. This is the place where you will want to be to learn, but also talk off stage with real life Agile heroes that we are bringing to the event. If you're listening to this right now, then I have some really good news. As you will quickly notice, this is a very special episode. It's an announcement episode and we're still working on the website for the summit. So you can still go to globalagilesummit. And get your super early bird ticket right now. And the amazing thing is it's half off of the half off. Yes, you heard it right. It's 25% of the final pass for the Global Agile Summit and we are in this, how should we call it, like this super mega early bird phase for the summit right now. We don't have an agenda yet. The website is still under construction. So we want to make sure that you get the opportunity to get in at only half off. Of the half off, it's 25% or $249. You can get it@globalagile summit.com it's going to be a three day event. Day one is all about workshops. We're in negotiation with some amazing thought leaders to bring some of the most important workshops to you. There'll be hands on direct contact with the speakers, which is what we want, of course, because we want you to be able to talk to the speaker, learn from their experience and bring your whole team. Right, because as a team we learn so much better than we learn in isolation. Days two and three will be all about business. And when I'm in business, I'm thinking leadership, strategic agility, coaching, making teams shine. Pardon me, also product. That means product ownership, product management, product strategy, product design and ideation, and also about development. And here we're talking about coding, testing, design, all the aspects that make agile businesses great and successful. So the tracks will be business, product and development. You'll really want to bring the whole team because this is really, pardon me, really a whole team event. And the reason why you should bring the whole team is because you are going to learn so much better as a team than learning in isolation and then trying to bring all of that knowledge back once the summit is over. Now, at the end of the day, what makes this event different and what makes it so great is that it's going to be 100% real life stories with amazing speakers that will share their first person experience of how Agile is succeeding. For them. It's not about tools or framework, it's about real agility and it's about the people who do it sharing what's really working for them and the challenges that they faced to make it work. Just like you. They have struggled, they've had it tough, but now they are ready to share what they've learned with real life stories, tips, tools and methods to achieve that success. Now, if you want that, if you want to know what's really working out there in many different industries and what's making a difference, then you definitely want to be with your team at the Global Agile Summit 2025. Again, we're right now in our super mega early bird phase. If you wait and you come back to the global agile summit.com website later, when the agenda is published, then the prices will go up and the opportunity to get in at 25% of the final price will be gone. So don't delay it. The agenda will be ready in literally a matter of days. So check out global agile summit.com and get all the details you need as well as the ticket to the summit. If you need a group ticket, don't worry, you can contact us@ticketslobalagilesummit.com and we'll sort you out. So make sure you go to the page though, and if you're just buying for yourself, buy the ticket right now. It's not going to be there for a long time. Now, if you're wondering is this really for me, the Global Agile Summit is really for people who want to take Agile all the way up to 11. That's how I see it, right? To really take advantage of the value of using Agile for their teams and their businesses to really make a difference and help your customers succeed. This is not a set of tools and frameworks, this is real life stories. So the Global Agile Summit is great for leaders, Chief Technical Officer, Chief Product Officer for engineering and product leaders for product managers, for engineering leads, for tech leads. We have a whole dedicated to the technical aspects of Agile, so coding, testing and design. And the summit is also great for consulting companies that want to improve their profitability. We have some amazing stories to share on that. More on that later as we're still negotiating the speaker engagements. Or even for consulting companies who are struggling in the current business environment and want to win more deals and deliver more reliably, there's a great story to share, but not yet. We don't have yet all the details, but when it's ready, we will share it with you. There will be some amazing ideas shared, but here's the thing, these are all real life stories and you will be able to talk directly with the speakers and ask your questions. It's really all about learning about bringing Agile forward, about really transforming our industry. I mean, let's face it, software now runs the world, so it's our responsibility to make sure it is developed sustainably, responsibly and with real positive impact on people and planet. So if you want to work with Agile software development and you want to help your business and your team succeed, you definitely want to be maybe even together with a team at the Global Agile Summit 2025 in Tallinn, Estonia.
