IIL's First Annual Agile and Scrum Virtual Conference Goes Live Thursday, June 2, 2016
NEW YORK, May 24, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- International Institute for Learning, Inc. (IIL) will host its first annual virtual conference on "Agile and Scrum – Driving Success Through Innovation." The live, online event will be held on June 2nd, 2016 from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm Eastern Time. Content will also be available on demand for 90 days.
"Agile and Scrum" is the newest event to be added to IIL's series of virtual conferences, and is designed to educate attendees of all knowledge and practice levels on successful Agile and Scrum practices – from Scrum Masters to project managers to CIOs.
E. LaVerne Johnson, Founder, President and CEO of IIL says, "We are very excited to add this new annual virtual conference to our roster. Our annual International Project Management Day (IPM Day) conference is now in its 13th year. In fact, it was because of the input of many of the 27,000 registrants who responded with Agile and Scrum to our question, 'What do you want to see at next year's IPM Day conference?' that we decided this was important enough feedback to merit its own conference. We believe in serving our customers' needs, and this conference is an example of how we listen to them and take action. We know this new annual conference will be a huge success, and grow to be as important and as sizeable as IPM Day in the near future."
Throughout the day there will be five keynote sessions, each followed by a 15-minute live Q&A period (all sessions at Eastern Time):
- 9 a.m. - Opening Keynote: Manny Gonzalez, CEO of Scrum Alliance – "Future of Work"
