Top 10 Agile conferences to attend in 2025

Every year I speak at many conferences and based on my experience I recommend some places to go for inspiration. Here is my list of Top 10 Agile conferences to attend in 2025. It’s not my intention to cover them all, I’m sharing places where I like to return. Inspiring places with interaction, high energy, and great speakers.

1. AgilePrague Conference is one of the best conferences in Europe. In two days, it creates unique collaborative space. You can expect two parallel tracks with short talks, afternoon workshops, and inspirational keynotes. Plus, Prague is a great city to visit so you can come early and enjoy the weekend in Prague. Join Agile Prague on Sep 15-16, 2025, Prague, Czech Republic.
2. AgileDC is a one-day conference with a motto: Of the People, By the People, and For the People. Organized by local community and it has a great atmosphere. Washington DC metro area, Oct 27, 2025.
3. Scan Agile is one of my favorite conferences. It’s where the future of Agile takes shape. This year is planned for March 27-28, 2025 in Helsinki, Finland.
4. ACE!Conference in Krakow, Poland is bringing together two tracks: Building Software Better and Building Better Product. What more could you ask for? It’s always an incredible atmosphere. Mark your calendars for May 22-23, 2024, and join ACE!
5. Global Scrum Gathering Munich is the only global gathering happening this year on May 4-7, 2025. Don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity to connect with like-minded agilists from all over the world. It’s going to be an unforgettable experience!
6. Agile Testing Days are almost a festival not a traditional conference. The full week of tutorials, talks, workshops, and networking events is just awesome. Join Testing Days even if you are not a tester. It’s in Potsdam, Germany on Nov 24-27, 2024.
7. Talk Less is a smaller even in Warsaw with a motto Scaling Agile for Simplicity and Success. Scaling doesn’t have to be hard. Join and learn from practical case studies on Dec 2025.
8. Regional Scrum Gathering Tokyo is organized by an enthusiastic agile community in Japan. The purpose is to provide a “Ba” (place) where practitioners share ideas among Scrum practitioners having a great diversity. Regional Gatherings provides a unique experience and even if you don’t speak Japanese, there are some talks in English and other translated. Join me and the local community on January 8-10, 2025.
9. XP Days Benelux is a conference with parallel workshops for experienced audience. This year it’s going to be in Zemst, Belgium on Nov 27-28, 2025.
10. Agile Tour Vilnius is day full of great talks in Vilnius, Lithuania. The conference is organized by local agile community and I always enjoy the energy and conversation with participants.

The selection is based on my personal preference and experiences from those events.
