Early Bird Rate Extended until September 24th

We are interested in helping as many people as possible attend the
APLN Leadership Summit next week. Yes... next week... it is nearly here.

To that end, we are extending the $399 early bird price up to the day
before the summit. This is going to be an excellent event and well
worth the price of admission.

Michele Sliger from Sliger Consulting and former Rally consultant is
speaking on bridging the PMI world to the agile world.

Roland Cuellar is speaking on agile portfolio management and agile metrics

David Hussman from DevJam is speaking on buidling test driven
organizations and agile architecture

Peter Hodgkins from Enthiosys is discussing agile product roadmaps and
their relationship to quality

Last but not least, Mitch Lacey is going to discuss roles on agile
projects and the challenges when we wear multiple hats.

In addition to the outstanding lineup of speakers, we have 5 leaders
from Atlanta that have led or are leading agile transitions and mature
agile teams. We are fortunate to have the following leaders come to help:

Paul King - VP Products and Engineering, Agentek, Inc. - Alpharetta, GA
Rick McMichael - VP Product Development, CheckFree - Norcross, GA
Bob Myer - Pillar Technologies, President/COO - Columbus, OH
Steve Cover - Sage Software, VP R&D - Lawrenceville, GA
Bud Phillips - Valtech (former VP at CapitalOne) - Richmond, VA

Come talk to these guys and see how they did it.

Finally we have three awesome keynote presentations.

Robert Holler from VersionOne will be speaking on the need for Agile.

Bud Phillips from Valtech will be exploring the creation of a
development value chain

One of my personal favorites, Christopher Avery will be talking about
leading responsible agile transitions.

Needless to say, we are going to feed you some great food the two days
you are with us and we'll have an open bar Thursday night... just in
case you needed one more selling point to throw you over the edge!

Time is running out. Register today to secure your spot!
