Delicious Food & Drink

"Good food is at the very heart of any great event.

We LOVE our food and continually seek to improve our offer, aiming to wow our guests on each and every visit. We design our menus based on seasonality, using local suppliers to ensure provenance and reduced food miles.

We firmly believe that good food is a very important factor to a successful event! All our food is freshly prepared on site by our chefs to the highest of standards, using seasonal vegetables, 'red tractor' meat, eggs from free range hens and no additives or trans fats so we meet the government guidelines for food and nutrition." - thestudio

What will you experience?

Agile Manchester is built by practitioners, for practitioners. You will hear honest stories from people doing real work, take part in workshops that challenge your thinking, and spend time with people who genuinely want to talk - not just collect business cards. No big egos. No hard sells. Just good conversations and useful ideas you can take back to your work.

A safe and inclusive environment

We are focused on improving participant experience and raising the bar in the tech events sector. Our conference is a safe place to learn, be curious and experiment no matter what background or knowledge you bring.

Real work, real organisations

Case studies from inside, not theory from outside. Recent sessions have come from Co-op, GDS, Rolls-Royce and Bloom & Wild - people reporting on work they actually did, and what it actually took.

Interactive formats and peer learning

Hands-on workshops of up to two hours, lively discussions and Scran and Share, our low-fi lunchtime talks over food. Some theory, blended with practical takeaways you can apply straight away.

Space to think and recharge

There is space to learn, reflect, chat and recharge. Our quiet space and active working space give you room to breathe between sessions, and the Northern Quarter is on the doorstep when you need a walk.

Conversations that matter

Whether in a session, over lunch or at the evening socials, you will find people who care about the same things you do. Sticky badges make it easy to see who is keen to chat - and the hallway conversations are as valuable as anything on the programme.

Ideas you can actually use

Every session is chosen because it has something genuinely worth sharing. You will leave with practical ideas, new perspectives and the energy to try something different when you get back to your desk.

Badges that do the talking

Build your own badge

Your name badge at Agile Manchester isn't printed - you build it. We will give you a tile with your name on and then you pick from a table of tiles: bees, unicorns, rainbows, ladybirds, a trophy if you're feeling confident.

It sounds like a small thing. But it breaks the ice before the first session starts, gives everyone something to talk about in the coffee queue, and by day two you'll recognise people by their tiles.
