Agile Coach Camp Worldwide (ACC-WW) is the first designated Camp for agile coaches to share, learn, and network with others from around the Globe! And for 2026 we’re back to being before the largest Agile conference! And yes we’re in-person! Tickets for the in-person will open sometime in within the next week. The registration button is inactive at the moment.
The first Camp in 2008 was organized by Naresh Jain and Deb Hartmann-Preuss and brought together a number of coaches from around the world. Thereafter most Agile Coach Camps were held within their own countries. This is of course great! We want coaches regionally to grow and learn from each other. The Agile Alliance’s Agile Coach Camp Initiative helps support these Camps.
The thing that gets missed though is the diverse perspectives when you cross countries and continents. This is where Agile Coach Camp Worldwide fits. These annual Camps bring together coaches from around the world, which adds deeper learning onto that experience. This started in 2019 before Agile2019 and and continued into 2020. Thanks to COVID we ended up taking ACC-WW virtual to become the Home Edition for 2020 through 2022. We returned to in-person in 2022 and 2023 again before the Agile20XX conferences. Last year, we ran an experiment of decoupling from the main conference and had some learnings that indicated that continuing on that path at the moment will be unfruitful.
This in-person Camp is set-up as a 2 day event directly before Agile2026 in Arlington, VA (relatively close to the Gaylord). We should have pricing and tickets set-up sometime in the next week.
Due to the international nature, ACC-WW will be conducted in English.
We are still exploring a meaningful theme. Last year everyone was invited to explore –
What meaningful reflections do we have on Agile Coaching?
