Anyone is invited to submit up to three EOIs to speak at AgileAus25 and possibly be selected to be a community speaker through a peer-review process. Other speakers at the Conference are invited speakers and sponsored talks.

Keynote and Invited speakers
AgileAus25 will include speakers invited to speak by TeamSlatts, the organisers, to address hot topics and any gaps in the program.

Sponsored sessions
It is possible for sponsors to purchase presentation spots labelled as such on the program.

Deep Dives
Invited and keynote speakers are encouraged to participate in interactive, intimate Deep Dive sessions where attendees can pick their brains by asking questions.

The majority of speakers are asked to present for 30 minutes, including any Q&A. Play & Do sessions run for an hour. Allocated MCs will provide a short introduction and help facilitate any questions from the audience should time permit.

Lightning talks are 5 minutes long and include a 4-minute warning bell and a 5 minute continuous bell to wrap up.

Usually those attending the Conference are members of multidisciplinary teams with job titles such as delivery lead, business analyst, product manager and Agile coach. Most attendees work at large enterprises across a range of sectors such as finance and telecommunications or from up-and-coming startups, government and for-purpose organisations. Half of those attending are usually attending the AgileAus conference for the first time. And there is a real mix of exposure and experience with Agile and favourite flavours of Agile.

Those attending the Conference can read the description of your talk and decide to attend. We are never sure how many will end up in any room. The closer the description of your talk matches the audience who can most benefit from your talk, the more receptive your audience will be!

If you need extra guidance to help your EOI be the best 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 one-on-one. To be connected with this free service, please email: doctor@agileaustralia.com.au

In 2025, we are prioritising face-to-face conversations rather than capturing comments and feedback on a platform as in previous years. If your talk is shortlisted you will be invited to partake in interviews kicking off from the week beginning 11 February 2025. If your talk is not shortlisted you will have the opportunity to request feedback via email or phone.

AgileAus has a brainstrust made up of community representatives that take on volunteer positions of Reviewers. They help review the EOIs and together decide which talks should be shortlisted and ultimately offered a conditional spot on the program.

AgileAus takes special care to ensure that no constituency is over or underrepresented across the breadth of talks on the program, which include but are not limited to the following considerations when we plan the program:

• A balance between theoretical and practical talks
• A balance between tech and non-tech talks
• A diverse representation of different organisational sizes (from enterprise to startup), and industries (from financial services to for purpose)
• A selection of speaker roles and job titles
• Representation of marginalised groups and individuals

All those invited to speak at AgileAus25 receive a complimentary registration to the Conference.

For Speakers (not including Lightning Talks) travelling from interstate or overseas, AgileAus is happy to contribute up to AU$300 towards any flights taken. Reimbursements will be paid to you post-event, provided you can attend and present your talk.

To ensure they can share the love – AgileAus speakers receive a 10% discount code for their colleagues, clients and network to attend AgileAus25.

AgileAus also provides speakers many opportunities to promote their message as part of the Conference – with invitations to guest post on the AgileTODAY blog and social media materials to share.
