Month: November 2009

The names of the ACCU 2010 conference (14-17 April 2010, Oxford, UK) keynote speakers are now public

• Jeff Sutherland, co-creator of Scrum
• James Bach, well-known software tester
• Dan North, Agile coach, programmer, and inventor of Behaviour Driven Development
• Russel Winder, author, trainer, and expert in parallel and distributed programming

As usual, the conference will feature some pre-conference tutorials:

• A Certified Scrum Master course by Jeff Sutherland and Gabrielle Benefield (the Monday and Tuesday before the conference)
• An introduction to the D programming language by Walter Bright and Andrei Alexandrescu
• A course on software testing by James Bach

There is also a twitter account you can follow for updates: @accu2010.

The full programme will be announced shortly. It promises to be as exciting as ever–being the conference chair I know that for sure 😉

The London XPDay is one of the oldest, and, in my very biased opinion, one of the very best international conferences on agile software development.

This year’s programme includes some great sessions. However, I think some very interesting ones will materialise in the open-space sessions (which make bulk of the programme) for which all the delegates will be able to propose the topics that interest them most and, if there is enough interest from other attendees, lead a session.

All the previous editions have been very successful, and most people always left with some new insights.

There are still some places available. Hurry up and book yours here—it is exceptionally good value for money.
