Be a Speaker

Talks
Speakers will have a total of 5, 20 or 40 minutes to present their session including an introduction and thank you by an MC and any Q&A. Presentation rooms are set up theatre style and audiences range from 100-300.

Invited speakers
AgileAus21 will include some speakers who have been invited to speak by Slatterys, the organisers, to address any gaps in the program.

Sydney based speakers who were previously selected through the EOI process in 2019 and were not able to speak at AgileAus20-1 will also be asked to participate this time around!

Sponsored sessions
It is possible for sponsors to purchase presentation spots, and these talks are labelled as such on the program.

Deep Dives
Invited speakers are encouraged to participate in interactive Deep Dive sessions so attendees can pick their brains and ask any questions they have. Deep Dive sessions are capped to keep the discussion open and intimate.

If you find yourself in need of some extra guidance to help your EOI be the best that it can be, you can request assistance from the AgileAus EOI doctor.

The doctor’s role is to work outside the reviewing process, offering advice and answering questions to those that need it on a one-on-one basis. To be connected with this free service, please email: doctor@agileaustralia.com.au.

Feedback is welcomed from the community in the form of comments to help EOIs be the best that they can be.

• Feedback is intended to help submitters refine and iterate their EOIs. Comments should help tease out the value of EOI – are there points that need to be clarified? Are the learning outcomes obvious? Is this a unique perspective?
• Community member names will appear next to all their comments and are visible for all to see. Feedback is expected to always be constructive and fair.
• Those submitting EOIs are advised that feedback is just a suggestion and represents only one point of view. Submitters are not obliged to take on feedback to be considered for inclusion into the program.
• Any comments which are deemed to be not useful will be removed. If you notice something that is not sitting right with you, please let us know via email to eoi@agileaustralia.com.au.

If you would like to get involved by checking out the EOIs already submitted, voting for your favourites or adding your comments to the author, we welcome your contributions here!

The Agile Australia Conference introduces all that attend to a wonderful, generous, welcoming community of people who are committed to learning and sharing.

We are committed to providing speakers with the right support, coaching and care to suit their individual needs and ensure their message resonates with the community.

If you are a speaker at AgileAus, we have your back. You can view what kind of behaviour is encouraged at AgileAus on the community charter.

All those invited to speak at AgileAus21 receive a complimentary registration to the Conference, an invitation to the Community Dinner with fellow speakers, and are eligible for travel and accommodation grants*.

To ensure they can share the love – AgileAus speakers receive a discount code for their colleagues, clients and network to attend AgileAus21.

AgileAus also gives speakers a myriad of opportunities to promote their message as part of the Conference – with invitations to guest post on the AgileTODAY blog, social media platforms and more.
