Slides
Some are still missing, but we’ve been publishing session slides as they become available. Find them on the summary page for each session.

Open-space report
We are also now making available a open-space report, with details of the amazing sessions that took place throughout the two days, and the main conclusions that were taken there.

Also, stay tunned to our twitter, facebook and google group, as we know our community is promoting some local activities in the coming weeks.

Check the new and improved version, or the erratum with all the changes.

Namely, for reasons that go beyond our and his control, Dave Thomas won’t be able to join us at this year’s edition of Agile Portugal. The time where his talk on Lean would be, will accommodate another session, facilitated by Joe Yoder.

Gil Nhamias’s talk on Scrum won’t be happening too. Gil had an unexpected impediment that made it impossible to attend the conference.

Don’t miss it, as it will be a great time to network, meet with the other participants and speakers, or simply have fun.

The dinner will be right next to the conference venue, and will have a cost of 19 Euro. It includes several specialties of the Portuguese cuisine, and will conclude with the serving of the finest Port wine.

Please fill in the dinner registration form if you wish to attend, so that we can estimate the number of participants, and make sure there will be enough places.

Although we have to ensure there is enough time to print all the conference materials, we found a way to do it after the 17th June, so you can count on the registration system to remain open until then.

Therefore we are very excited to offer the tutorials for €200 if you register for the conference, or €300 if you register for the tutorial day only. Check out our exciting tutorial topics!

We challenge you to prove that you’re a true agile developer. Shoot a photo about your workplace, methods, team, etc. showing how agile (and creative) you can be!

This year, we’ll have two contests with similar rules — one for our facebook page fans and another for our twitter followers.

On facebook

On twitter
a) Shoot a photo; a) Shoot a photo;
b) Post the photo directly to our wall
(don’t forget to add an appealing caption);		 b) Tweet it with the #agilept and #goldenticket hashtags;
c) Get the highest number of likes; c) Get the highest number of retweets;
d) Profit! d) Profit!


How will you determine the winners?

A ticket will be awarded to the picture with most likes in facebook and another to the photo with the highest number of retweets on twitter. We’ll accept photos until the 7th of June. Check back on the 8th for the results.

Can I participate on both contests?

Sure :)

What does it cover?

This is a ticket for the two main conference days, 21st and 22nd of June.

Where exactly do I post a photo to enter the facebook contest?

Go to our wall on facebook, and use the option Photo → Upload a Photo.

What if…?

In the unlikely event of a tie, the organizers will choose the winning picture.

If you are the winner but for some reason won’t be able to use the ticket, you can give it to your best friend, or donate it back to Agile Portugal, and we will award it to the second best picture in the same social network.

In the case you are one of the big winners but have already registered, you’ll still be able to use the golden ticket. We will issue you a reimbursement.

Is the ticket actually made of gold?

Not likely..

Something is still not clear to me

If you have any doubts, please contact us to the address chairs@agilept.org.

Let the photo shooting begin. Good Luck!

Update: Made it clearer how to enter the facebook-flavored Golden Ticket Contest.
