1 Sponsorship Agile Austria Conference 2018 The Future of Agile WKO Graz (Chamber of Commerce) 16 May Workshop Day 17 and 18 May Conference

2 Note from the organiser Agile what next? Working as a coach and trainer, I often get asked: What comes after agile? My first reaction usually is: I don t know. Today s concept of agility has only been around for about 17 years. Considering that general interest in agile methods only began about 10 years ago, I would say that the currently more relevant question is: What is agility? But then, humanity and the economy have always been, and will continue to be, powered by curiosity. Just imagine how many inventions would not have been made, had nobody asked What next? How many inefficient work practices would have been retained, had nobody ever asked for simplification. How many tools would have remained impractical, had nobody questioned their usability. A change for the better is often fostered by curiosity. This is why we decided to dedicate the Agile Austria Conference 2018 to the motto The Future of Agile. Although we can see that many have not yet completed their way to agility, we are already curious to know how we will continue afterwards. What will the world of work be like in the future? What does agility do and what could come afterwards? How is it linked to related topics like digitalisation? Let s ask the question and find an answer together. Encompassing the topics Agile Transition and Technical Excellence, we venture a look into the future. Our two keynote speakers, Jurgen Appelo and Boris Gloger, will present their ideas on this matter. We will work together with numerous other speakers and with you as a partner to organise an amazing and trendsetting event. Join our team and participate in making this great conference a success. Kind and agile regards, Dr. Wolfgang Richter (Agile CEO at JIPP.IT, CLT, representative of the organising team) 2

4 Your top 3 reasons to join as a sponsor There are in fact a thousand reasons why it makes sense to be represented at the Agile Austria Conference For one thing, the conference is an excellent opportunity to get established in the agile world. Plus, you are making a valuable contribution in supporting one of the most important movements of the last 50 years to change the world of work. And you get a chance to network with like-minded people while at the same time standing out as a sponsor. Apart from these and many other reasons, however, there are three main points that sum up the benefits of being a sponsor at the Agile Austria Conference 2018: 1) isibility: We expect up to 400 participants. This is a rare opportunity for you to present yourself at an agile event of this scope in Austria, right in the green heart of Europe. 2) Product placement: It s not only a Hollywood thing. In the agile universe especially, people are keen to find out which solutions and which know-how your company offers them to simplify their daily work. The conference gives potential clients and company representatives a convenient space where they can meet in a casual atmosphere to discuss projects. 3) Networking: Our participants come from all sorts of disciplines and positions. The conference is a unique opportunity to meet potential partners, clients, suppliers and new employees. Become a sponsor and be visible for your new contacts. Still not quite convinced?
