The Agile It! Experience (Jul 1)
The Agile It! Experience (aka Agile ITX) finished up this weekend and was a great success. The speakers were all top rate. The audience was educated and engaged. We had great interactions and great questions. I brought my daughter Hannah along and she walked the fine line between entertaining the audience without annoying them. Other than me bashing my head into the side of the swimming pool (ouch!) and having too many managers (and not enough management related talks), I can't think of a thing that wasn't stellar. Next time I'll bring goggles to the pool, and I can guaranty we'll have the management track topped out next time around.

The entire conference went extremely well... and you'll be seeing more of them in the future.
