Agile conferences near the UK

One of the best ways to get more information on using Agile in your organisation is to attend a conference where you can discuss your situation with a wide range of experts and peers. Here is a short list of conferences to consider that are close to the UK:

• Agile North - A small local community conference that is a good opportunity to get to know other practitioners. Next conference: Agile North 2008. Preston, Lancashire, 13th November 2008.
• XP Days Benelux - A spin-off euro conference based on the successful London XP Day. Next conference: XP Days Benelux 2008, Eindhoven, The Netherlands, 20-21 November 2008.
  
• XP Days London - More Agile than XP these days this conference is a highly regarded London conference with typically excellent quality presentations. Next conference: XPDay, London. 11th & 12th December 2008.
• Agile200X - Not near the UK but as the biggest international agile conference it is worth considering. It is getting slightly large for comfort recently, but you can't beat it for breadth of speakers and topcis nor the openness of the peer review process. Most of the presentations from Agile2007 are available here. Next conference: Agile 2009 Chicago, USA. August 24-28, 2009.
• Agile Open Europe - This is an open space conference where everyone can present or discuss topics of interest to them. Next conference: Not announced yet, June or July 2009.
