“During the two-day workshop that we were doing with Tom before the conference it felt like the conference was already underway. There were so many people with interesting stories to tell. But once the conference actually got underway, I was amazed. The striking venue, the array of excellent speakers, and several hundred of attendees all merged into a top notch conference.

As we headed back to the airport we agreed – this had been one of the more memorable conferences we have attended. I highly recommend it to all.”

“I can’t give a testimonial for #agileee until after November 15, but the short version: it’s the best agile conference in the world. Period.

I haven’t enjoyed a conference as much as #agileee since the early days of XPUniverse.”

“The Agile Eastern Europe conference offers attendees the benefits one would expect from much larger conferences in the west, while maintaining a distinctly Eastern European feeling. I highly recommend this conference to anyone wishing to improve their knowledge, social network, and motivation to continue learning and improving.

The Agile Eastern Europe conference is the largest and best organized conference in the region and provides the best opportunities to share, learn, discuss, enjoy and grow your professional social network.”

“Somewhere in 2009 Alexey Krivitsky asked me to come to Kiev and talk at his conference Agileee. I am a big supporter of new initiatives to spread agile.

When I was at the conference, I was amazed at what Alexey and his team had accomplished.

From the very first edition of this conference, they have put the bar very high. I have participated at lots of conferences in 2009, this was the second best. It’s amazing how they achieved to outperform some conferences that have been around for a few years.

Interesting content, speakers from all around the world, a nice environment, a lively panel discussion, active participants (a mini open-space event emerged.

When Alexey asked me back for the 2010 edition, I did not hesitate one moment. For personal life balance I was partly at the conference and I regret it a lot. So much, that for the 2011 edition, I have already blocked the possibles dates on my calendar.”

“”As a participant – the conversations with practitioners and the top-notch presentations are some of the best that I’ve experienced in international conferences.

As a sponsor – Agileee gives us exposure to the right public and potentially with high impact.

As a speaker – Agileee combines a thriving community with top-notch speakers and makes my presence very fruitful in terms of ideas generated and quality feedback to the work I develop during the year.

Agileee is a must in my calendar!”

“I was on Agileee 2010 for the first time and I must say I’m impressed. If you look for an agile event in this part of the world this one should be definitely on the top of your list. Organizers did good job not only attracting big names, like Mary Poppendieck and Henrik Kniberg but also finding less-known speakers who delivered great presentations.

However these aren’t presentations but networking which is the biggest value of conferences. And in terms of networking Agileee 2010 worked very well – probably the single session which I learned most at was evening banquet.

There were minor glitches of course but if you ask for a final recommendation I’m going to be in Kiev next year.”

“Agileee is a really special event in this part of Europe. It’s a time filled with listening to great talks, meeting interesting people and continuous learning. It’s also great to be a speaker there. You can be sure your knowledge and time will be appreciated and you’ll be taken care of. It was great to be there again!”

“AgileEE was one of the highlights of 2010 for me: a very fertile combination of local and international speakers, eager-to-learn local agilists from all over Eastern Europe, a dedicated and fun-loving organizing committee, heated discussions on outsourcing & scaling Agile, scrumptious food and groovy music… Just the right size to guarantee lots of high quality presentations and workshops to choose from, but focused and not over-commercialised.

Definitely worth the trip count me in next year!”
