Agile Manchester 2027
About this Event
📅 12–13 May 2027
🌐 thestudio, Manchester
The North’s practical, hands-on Lean and Agile conference returns for its 11th edition on Wednesday 12 and Thursday 13 May 2027.
Join hundreds of practitioners, coaches, leaders, product people, delivery teams and change-makers for two days of learning, discussion and connection in the heart of Manchester.
Agile Manchester is built for people who want more than theory. Expect practical talks, interactive workshops, real-world case studies, lean coffees, open discussions and plenty of opportunities to connect with others facing similar challenges.
“Well-rounded and diverse topics — this conference was exactly what I needed.”
“Interactive workshops that got us out of our comfort zone, comfortably.”
Whether you’re new to Agile and Lean ways of working or have years of experience, Agile Manchester offers a welcoming, inclusive environment where you can learn from peers, share experiences and leave with ideas you can put into practice immediately.
Keynotes
Each day begins with a keynote designed to inspire fresh thinking and spark meaningful conversations throughout the conference.
Keynote and speaker announcements coming soon.
What to Expect
Practical, engaging content
Our carefully curated programme combines inspiring keynotes, practical sessions, interactive workshops, facilitated discussions, live Q&As and collaborative group activities. And of course, there’s the all-important hallway track — the conversations between sessions where some of the best learning happens.
A conference experience designed for connection
We believe the moments outside the talks matter too. Alongside great sessions, you’ll find relaxed social spaces, games, jigsaws, crafts, LEGO and other activities designed to help people connect naturally and start conversations.
Inclusive by design
Agile Manchester is committed to creating a safe, welcoming and inclusive experience for everyone. We ask all participants to follow our Code of Conduct and help us foster a respectful environment for all participants.
We also provide:
- Quiet spaces for neurodivergent participants
- Rooms for nursing parents
- Prayer spaces
- Accessible facilities and supportive event staff
Limited ticket releases
Tickets are released in batches and are available until sold out or until the listed closing date. Early releases typically sell quickly, so secure your place early to avoid missing out.
