Milan Conference Update
IAF EME 2019 CONFERENCE
AGILE AND FACILITATION
MILAN, ITALY - MAY 2-4
What is the role of facilitation in Agile transformation? Is there any way to apply Agile principles in the facilitation work?
Last week 131 participants from all over Europe, as well as from Australia, Canada, China, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Philippines, Togo, Turkey and United States gathered in Milano at the Agile and Facilitation Conference to explore these two questions.
First part of the program was built on 22 different workshops proposed by participants before the conference, and almost a same number of sessions was proposed in the open space that closed the conference.
The conference itself was very innovative in it's concept and developments.The organising team developed a lean and agile conference format, the conference was hosted in a rather unconventional venue (a theater), catering supplied by an NGO and participants had the opportunity to self organise large part of the works.
Conference team did a great effort making the conference as much as possible accessible to people form all over the world by keeping the registration fee lower than usual,
a conference app was used keep updated participants and offer to participants more opportunities to connect and network.
