“…The Australia of the future has to be a nation that is agile, that is innovative, that is creative. We can’t be defensive, we can’t futureproof ourselves. We have to recognise that the disruption that we see driven by technology, the volatility in change is our friend if we are agile and smart enough to take advantage of it.”

– Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull

    …a valuable and immersive couple of days, very well orchestrated, and you might just have made my job a little bit easier too!

  • Agile Australia 2015 Attendee

    …Agile 2015 was an amazing conference. I thought you brought together a fantastic, eclectic, mix of great speakers and produced a captivating agenda. I also have to take my hat off to you for the clockwork precision of the proceedings. Three levels, up to four streams and a 1000 delegates and the fact that everything just seamlessly worked is an amazing achievement…

    I personally enjoyed the conference sessions that I went to very much, and I know Ma Qiang and I found the speaking experience very rewarding indeed. There was also many many discussions on how strong Agile Australia was this year.

  • Agile Australia 2014 Attendee

    I really like this conference and it’s focus on customer first, reducing waste, etc. I think the term agile does scare some people off but this conference is much more than just agile evangelists and that’s why I like it. Thank you.
