I've checked the agenda, and the speakers, seems interesting.
My only concern as a newly PMP member I'm very confused with agile, scrum, ITLT, SAP Certified Associate Project Manager, Business Analyst, too much certifications, too much different words.

Vincent, the key is to be agile at whole organization from an strategical point of view. Strategy is the way the organization react to environmental stimulus and create environmental stimulus.

I have registered. I noticed Scott Ambler is a presenter. He has been in the Agile community before this even became a buzzword. I have never heard him actually speak but have many of his books. Saving Changes...

Scott Ambler comes from object orientation. He has a great framework named Disciplined Agile Delivery that we are trying to use in the company where I am today. As I mentioned, I will be there because I always I trying to learn from others. Saving Changes...
@Sergio, I have been looking at the Disciplined Agile Delivery diagram on the website by Scott Ambler. He has often been a bit ahead of the curve in my opinion. Have you read his book "Disciplined Agile Delivery"? Saving Changes...
