WHAT’S #JAFAC?

JAFAC is a number of hand-picked (by us) inspiring speakers from a variety of backgrounds and industries, that we want to hear speak. Mixed with a hundred or so attendees, great food, friendly people and plenty of room to mingle, it never fails to deliver engaging conversations and delightful interactions.

It’s a mix of speakers, with a workshop or two as well. Full engagement mode!

#JAFAC has grown from its Agile roots, evolving to encompass the adaptive and innovative workplaces of today.

This year JAFAC will be just one day. We look to explore the world of work, meeting our curiosity with stories and provocations. In different industries, and across organisations. Looking inside and outside the realm of Agile for inspiration and ideas.

This is a small conference. But the impact will be huge.

WHO’S IT FOR?

For creatives, for innovators, for Agile and non-Agile practitioners. For people who want to make a difference, for disruptors and do-ers. For people who are into redesigning organisations, growing great teams, expanding horizons, solving meaty problems, and reinventing the future. For leaders and thinkers and curious minds.

It’s NOT for people who want to ask 'so what is Agile?' or people who want to sell something.

2025 speakers

We are so excited about the programme for 2025.

We’ve tapped into our vast and amazing local talent, and we’ve found people with new and intriguing stories to tell and ideas to share.

The range of speakers helps to extend the boundaries of our thinking, and to cross pollinate with different industries and disciplines.

WHAT’S IN IT FOR ME?

You get to spend a day indulging in general geekery, in learning new things and challenging all the things. Hang with like-minded people - and with different-minded people. You’ll get new ideas and inspiration and hear different perspectives. You’ll make new friends and rediscover old ones.

If you’ve been before, you’ll know what you’re in for. If you’re new and curious, you’ll be sure to have a great day. We’ve never met anyone who regretted coming to JAFAC.
