Join us for the inaugural Agile Yorkshire Christmas Lightning Talks Competition! This fun and fast-paced event will feature quick, 5-minute presentations from community members on a variety of Agile-related topics. Whether it's a clever tip, a lesson learned, or a new perspective, each talk promises to be engaging and thought-provoking. It’s a great opportunity to share your insights, learn from others, and celebrate the festive season with fellow Agile enthusiasts. Come for the inspiration, stay for the community spirit! Afterwards we will adjourn to the German Market for beer and bratwurst.
