Join with Scrum community members from around the world as they gather together in the sunshine of Orlando Florida to share in a mix of experience, information, values and expert insight that provides a framework for evaluating and incorporating the Scrum process. Learn from experienced practitioners, Scrum founders and leaders in the agile community.

Participating in a Scrum Gathering is an important step in expanding Scrum knowledge for Scrum users of all skill levels, as well as a great introductory opportunity for those who are investigating the possibility of using the Scrum process. A day of Open Space will afford participants the opportunity to set agendas, discuss timely topics and interact with industry experts and peers in casual group settings.
