What sort of sessions are at AgileAus26?
Presentations
AgileAus26 offers 30-minute sessions for speakers to share case studies, practical approaches, and lessons learned, typically using slides. This format provides a concise, structured way to share insights, takeaways and encourage discussion.
Play & Dos
Hands-on, practical workshops for an hour duration – Attendees actively participate to practice techniques or try new approaches
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.
Lightning Talks
Sometimes the smallest talks have the biggest impact. Lightning Talks are short and sweet, 5 minute talks that share one idea really, really well. Don’t let their size fool you – it’s more of a challenge to be succinct than you’d think!
Unstructured Sessions
AgileAus welcomes sessions that involve small groups or more casual interactions held in the foyer. Past sessions have included – mentoring, Ikigai, lean coffee.
