The Path to Agility Conference

The Central Ohio Agile Association (COHAA), central Ohio’s fastest growing organization for Agile professionals, today announces its second annual "The Path to a•gil•i•ty" conference. This day-long event will be held on May 26th, 2011 at the Arena Grand Theatre in Columbus, Ohio. "The Path to a•gil•i•ty" offers opportunities for IT and Business professionals to learn about nationwide trends in Agile software delivery, and the value organizations can realize by adopting this methodology.

"I am very excited about the 2nd annual "The Path to a•gil•i•ty" conference," said Jennifer Bleen, COHAA Chair and Board Member. "We have a great community of Agile practitioners here in Central Ohio. This will be a great opportunity to showcase our local talent and collaborate with national thought leaders on delivering business value better and faster."

"Our goal is to develop a nationally recognized Agile conference hosted right here in Columbus, Ohio." said Bart Murphy, COHAA Board Member and Conference Chair. "We are implementing several improvements to the conference based on retrospective feedback collected at last year's event. These include facilitating an open space, setting up a public wifi, using larger theater rooms, and providing trolley service to the Retrospective Happy Hour/Sponsor Giveaway/IT Martini event."

"The Path to a•gil•i•ty" was developed to further COHAA’s mission to promote the use of Agile practices and principles in delivering working software to organizations. The event will feature national and regional Agile thought leaders providing sessions focused on a mix of business, technical, and organizational leadership topics. Attendees will include a strong network of regional Agile professionals.

COHAA is also pleased to partner with IT Martini, a social networking organization for IT professionals. COHAA is a proud sponsor of IT Martini, which will be held immediately following "The Path to a•gil•i•ty" conference. Registration for the COHAA conference will include admission to IT Martini.
