  • Agile Coach Camp 2025 opens this weekend!

    Agile Coach Camp 2025 opens this weekend!

    Hello all you Agile people!

    Another year, another Agile Coach Camp! This year reasonably early. We’ll be starting the yearly BBQ around 6 PM on March 28th. It will be the usual location, Hotel Restaurant De Vossenberg in Vierhouten.

    We have a new ticketsite up and running at WeTicket. The ticketsite can be reached through:

    www.ACCNL25.nl

    The following tickets are available:

    • Basic shared room ticket (€ 270,-) Our most affordable ticket with entry to our event for three days, meals included, a room shared with another Coach Camp participant. You can tell us in the question section if you have a preference for someone.
    • One person budget room ticket (€ 280,-) The hotel has a limited amount of top floor single rooms that we get for a reduced price. This ticket includes one of those rooms with all the perks listed in the Basic shared room ticket. Be quick though as there are few (3) available.
    • One person room ticket (€ 345,-) This is a ticket which includes some of the regular single person rooms. We only have 4 of these. The ticket includes everything the other tickets have as perk.
    • One person apartment room ticket (345,-) This ticket includes a room in one of the foor apartments that are not in the hotel. The apartments have two bedrooms that we offer as single person rooms. There is also a small living room area that you will share with another participant of our event. The bathroom is also shared. We sell these at the same price as a single room as there is a higher cost to these apartments. The perks will again be the same as the other tickets.
    • Day ticket (€ 165,-) This is a ticket we offer for those who do not want to stay in the hotel. We can only offer this ticket for Saturday due to logistics reasons. The ticket includes access to the event on Saturday including the meals.

    Drinks will be regulated using coins that we offer as part of the ticket price. There are no unlimited coins, so choose your drinks wisely…. Of course we will have coffee, tea and fizzy drinks available throughout the day.

    money makes the world go around

    To help us out financially, and make sure we can keep organizing the Agile Coach Camp, we also bring back sponsor tickets with three levels:

    • Sponsor ticket Friend level for € 10,-
    • Sponsor ticket Good friend level for € 50,-
    • Sponsor ticket BFF level for € 100,-

    You can buy as many sponsor tickets as you want. Obviously the level names are in jest. We appreciate EVERY level of sponsorship we get equally.

    All sponsor tickets will go to our financial buffer to pay for things like pens, stickies, lanyards, conference room rent, event insurance, our website costs, our bank costs and general costs.
    Enough financial buffer also means that we can keep our prices as low as possible.

    We are a non profit foundation and have no income besides what is coming in through the ticket site.

    We are looking forward to seeing you in March!

    Let’s go, sales!

  • ACCNL16 starts today!!!

    After driving with a load of stuff to the location we were warmly welcomed by the hotel owner of the Vossenberg Vierhouten. We are really looking forward to this Agile event although on the road to the hotel, we thought we were caught in a classical Waterfall project due to the rain 🙂

  • Rules of OpenSpace

    OpenSpace is a small set of rules that allow groups of people to interact in a simple, productive, organized way to create valuable dialogs that address the participants’ most important issues.openspacerules

    The Fundamental “Rules” of the sessions that happen during OpenSpace conferences are:

    • Whoever shows up is the right people
    • Whatever happens is the only thing that could have
    • Whenever it starts is the right time
    • When it’s over, it’s over

    To lead an OpenSpace Talk:

    • Come up with an interesting topic and title for your discussion.
      • You don’t need to develop these before the conference; most of the ideas will come to you during the event.
    • Fill out a schedule Post-It for your topic.
    • Place the topic on the schedule.
    • If you see topics that have something in common, consider combining them into a single time slot.
    • If a significant number of people want to attend your discussion and another discussion in the same time slot, try to trade into another time slot to ensure maximum dialogue and participation.

    To attend an OpenSpace Talk:

    • Check the schedule and sign up for a talk or just drop in if you wish.
    • Use the ‘Law of two feet.’ If you feel that you are not contributing or benefiting from a presentation, please feel free to move on to something else.
    • Allow the discussion convener to steer his or her topic. If you have an opposing opinion that needs a full time slot you should feel free to add your own OpenSpace slot to discuss the topic.
  • Un-Conference? Open Space? What’s that?

    The Agile Coach Camp is an OpenSpace get-together, sometimes also refered to as an un-conference. It is a simple methodology for self-organizing conference tracks. It relies on participation by people who have a passion for the topics to be discussed. There is no preplanned list of topics, only time slots and a space in the main meeting room where interested participants propose topics and pick time slots.

    Prepare to be surprised by the depth and breadth of topics that are discussed in OpenSpace. Each OpenSpace experience is unique in some way. It doesn’t matter if you contribute a little or a lot. And you’ll probably be surprised that you may know something that others may not. Everyone has something to give, whether they know it or not -even if it’s the “beginner’s mind” that asks the right questions.

  • My Job Title doesn’t say I’m a Coach, Can I Attend?

    Absolutely!

    All who consider themselves to be agile coaches, scrum masters, change agents,  if you are in a role where you mentor or facilitate others in your organisation, or aspiring to be any of these: you are welcome.

    In addition, what would be even more awesome, is when we meet across communities to create and share ideas. Perhaps UX-people can help visualise activities, make Information Radiators more meaningful? Or Psychologists can help us understand better how the mind works, so we can learn how to create the best teams? Or to learn from Game Theorists what the mechanisms are behind cooperation?

    Please join us at http://accnl16.nl/

    We look for people who are striving to push the limits in guiding software development teams, managers, leaders and beyond, while staying true to the values and principles at the core of the Agile movement. We invite practitioners who, like you, are passionate about their work, active in the field and willing to share what they’ve learned. Prepare to be surprised! It’s a great chance to form relationships that can last a lifetime. This is an opportunity for us to create a lifeline of professional support for each other.
