Some news about my involvement in upcoming conferences I\u2019m probably overdue to share.<\/p>\n

First of all, I\u2019ll be giving a keynote at Euro STAR<\/a> on November 6th. This is my first trip to Euro STAR, and my first visit to Amsterdam (at least my first visit where I\u2019ll leave the airport). There are a lot of talks I plan to attend, but I\u2019m a bit bummed that I\u2019ll miss the last day of the conference, and will miss a talk by Alexandra Schladebeck on What Agile Teams Can Learn From World of Warcraft<\/a>. I\u2019ve used this metaphor many times over the years, and I\u2019m excited to see that it\u2019s not just me that sees the connection.<\/p>\n

Beyond that, I\u2019m done with conferences for the next eleven months or so while I go back to paying full attention to my family and my day job (but I may give a webinar or two this winter given sufficient interest).<\/p>\n

I\u2019m fortunate to have a team and manager who support me attending a few conferences a year, but while they\u2019d probably be supportive of me agreeing to attend more conferences, my day job is much cooler than most, so I\u2019m cutting way back on my travel so I can do even more<\/em> cool stuff. I have made a commitment to attend STAR West next fall, but other than that, I\u2019m consciously making no commitments (although I would attend a good peer conference if one came up).<\/p>\n

Finally- I want to mention that Swiss Testing Day<\/a> – one of the best conferences I\u2019ve ever attended (both in organization and in content) is coming up. I\u2019m not attending this year, but I do encourage anyone who is, or will be near Zurich on March 13, 2013 to consider attending \u2013 I am confident you won\u2019t be disappointed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
