Be a Speaker

Agile 2010 will be using three mechanisms to build the program. These mechanisms are as follows:

• Invited 180 Minute Sessions - These sessions will be presented exclusively on Monday, August 9, 2010. The criteria for selection is based on the importance of the topic, the speaker's reputation, and feedback from past Agile Conferences, etc. The Program Committee will be responsible for selecting all invited sessions.
• 60, 90 Minute Sessions and Experience Reports - We will use an open process based on the submission system used for the past Agile Alliance conference.
• Research - There will be two tracks for research related topics at the conference. This includes a Full Research track and a Research-in-progress workshop track. See below for details on submissions and access to the research submission system.

Submission System for Conference Themes is Now Closed

The Agile 2010 submission process will be somewhat different than in past years. In the past submissions would be submitted to individual stages for consideration. This year you will be submitting to one of the broad conference themes, Business, Technical, and Leadership & Organization. Once submitted the program committee will identify and forward to the most appropriate stage.

The length of the sessions will either be 60 or 90 minutes and will be presented Tuesday - Thursday ONLY.

Note: Each presenter is limited to submitting 3 proposals total, this includes proposals where the presenter is not the 1st Speaker.

The submission system is now closed. We received in excess of 900 proposals. Thanks to all who have submitted proposals as well as the people who have provided feedback. Over the next month or so the program will come together, we'll keep you posted.

Submission Process for Research Tracks

The research tracks are looking for original, finished research for the Full Research, and papers that describe research work in progress that has some preliminary results for Research-in-progress workshop. The papers will undergo a scientifically rigorous peer-review, by 3 reviewers selected from the program committee. Successful submissions will be considered for the Best Research Paper award, and the conference proceedings (full research paper only) will be published by the IEEE Computer Society.

The submission system is now closed. Thanks to all who have submitted papers. The organizing committee and review team has begun reviewing the proposals. We expect to notify everyone by the end of April.
