• Coaches Clinic. Partner with an agile coach for a 15-minute session to work through your professional hurdles and objectives.

• Customized virtual Open Space. This four-hour virtual event is tailored to online attendees with an experienced and highly respected Open Space facilitator, Ms. April Jefferson “Soul Craftswoman.”

3. Connection

Meaningful, powerful, and lasting connections are not limited to in-person interactions. Your virtual ticket to GSGDen22 admits you to various opportunities to meet, connect, and grow your scrum network:

• Slack workspace. Slack’s easy-to-use platform provides a hub for scrum Q&As, collaboration, messaging, networking, and connecting with others. Customize Slack with channels dedicated to the topics and subjects you want to talk about, and feel empowered to make it your own messaging experience!
• Collaborate with a Miro workspace. Use this whiteboard platform to add your location on a heatmap with other online attendees, collaborate during the closing session, and for other interactive experiences. Miro is a great way to get creative with other participants by using a shared virtual whiteboard to collaborate, provide feedback, and engage.
• Get social. Contribute to our live feed! The social media wall will collect posts from both virtual and in-person attendees. See what everyone’s talking about and add your own perspective.

4. Celebration

As scrum practitioners, we know the value of celebrating one another’s achievements and success. People and collaboration are essential to scrum and we want to celebrate our community at GSGDen22. Here are some of the ways you can celebrate virtually:

• Be in the same place, at the same time. For many of us, gathering with our colleagues and networks has been on hold since the world of work seismically changed. The Gathering is our chance to share in meaningful connection, learning opportunities, and support. You’ll find all levels of experience and energized enthusiasm to support each other on this agile journey.
• Kick back and connect with others from anywhere in the world. Zoom rooms accessible through Slack will be set up to create spaces to share meals, connect, converse, and build relationships.
