Announcing a unique opportunity coming to the Philadelphia metro area in early September 2011:
The Philadelphia Day of Agile Conference!
Building on the success of similar events over the past three years in the Midwest, Philadelphia Day of Agile is a single-day, three-track conference introducing the elements of Agile Software Development to newcomers as well as fostering stimulating conversation for those more advanced in the subject.
Conference Tracks
At this one day Conference on Saturday, September 10th, 2011 you will have the opportunity to attend sessions in any of three different tracks:

• TRACK 1: focusing on those new to Agile
• TRACK 2: targeting those with some agile experience who want to grow their skills
