Are you a student looking for a career in tech? Are you a teacher looking to learn more about Agile and how the tech world works? Join us at Activate Agile, a punchy afternoon for highschool and uni students; teachers, lecturers, and tutors; about how tech teams work in real businesses like SEEK, realestate.com.au and Envato.

‘Agile’ is an approach to creating software and technology used by the best companies in Australia. It’s how coders, designers, analysts, team leaders and their customers work together to create killer products really fast.

Activate Agile is part of Agile Australia 2016 which brings together over 1,000 software developers, user experience designers, business analysts, and even companies - from big names like Australia Post, IBM, NAB, AMP to disruptive companies such as Atlassian, 99designs, RedBubble and Aconex. Activate Agile gives you the chance to meet the people who make up these amazing, innovative companies and pick the brains of superstars who create tech solutions every day.

If your dream job is to make the world a better place using technology, or you’re mentoring young minds with this dream, Activate Agile is the event for you. Discover what Agile organisations are really like, and how Agile is applied in the real world, in an engaging, fun and inspiring way.
