About the unconference

Friday, Feb 28, 2020

Forsyth Conference Center near Atlanta, GA.

The Lean+Agile Atlanta Unconference is a loosely structured gathering where topics and themes are generated by the attendees.

Lean+Agile Atlanta Unconference is about you, relevant, inspiring

Participants gather, build an agenda, and convene sessions. Conversations are directed and productive because the agenda was generated by the attendees. It allows for meaningful conversations, teaching, and learning to take place throughout the day.

  • Exchange Ideas
  • Meaningful Conversations
  • Peer Learning

This format allows participants to exchange ideas and information deemed most valuable by those in attendance. Because of this, the agenda for an unconference can go anywhere. Rather than traditional conferences, which require heavy up-front planning and rely on predetermined tracks or themes, an unconference allows ideas to flourish and evolve as the day goes by.

Your registration includes breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack.
