Lean Agile KC is the only conference in Kansas City devoted solely to Lean and Agile learning. The conference will feature cutting edge topics like Lean UX and DevOps, in addition to the more familiar topics of coaching Agile teams, culture, and organizational change.
LAKC 2017 will be a single, full-day conference at the KU Edwards Campus on Nov. 7, 2017. The conference will have two major content components: traditional breakout talks and Open KC (a modified Open Spaces session) that consists of informal discussions in an open setting. The Open KC event allows a unique opportunity for sponsors to engage with attendees and speakers in the content of the conference.
This will be a different sponsorship opportunity than typical conferences. Instead of driving attendees to a booth or table, we encourage sponsors to engage naturally with our attendees and speakers through the available collaborative space. In fact, there will not be sponsor booths or tables available. Sponsors will have the opportunity to show their support for Lean and Agile methods by participating in the sharing and learning.
Attendees and speakers will consist of engineers, testers, analysts, project managers, product managers, executives, and entrepreneurs who all care about Lean and Agile for technology organizations. These are the change agents who make Agile work in their workplace. If the conference sells out (and we expect it to sell out quickly), the total number of attendees and speakers will be 250+.
In short, the Agilists attending this conference will be the local and regional practitioners who care enough about their craft to take a day to share and learn from their peers in an educational and learning setting.
Every year, more companies choose to adopt Lean or Agile to improve their ability to deliver customer value. There has never been a Lean-Agile conference before our own LAKC 2015. Demand is high as we sold out our first two years. If you care about attracting Lean and Agile thinkers or getting your product/service offering in front of this group of decision makers, this opportunity is for you.
