Day one of Agile Testing Days in Berlin and I’m thoroughly enjoying it.
Despite the fact our taxi driver tried to kill us on the way to the hotel last night we have arrived safely and are being most welcomed by our host Jose. By the way, the taxi driver had used up half of his boot with his own golf clubs meaning he had little room for our luggage. A fact he emphasised with a huge sigh. After much pushing, pulling and kicking he finally got the boot to shut before taking us on a 90 miles an hour tour of suburban Berlin. After several honks of the horn, a couple of really hairy corners and a lot of hand gesturing he finally deposited us at the hotel.
We had some drinks with the key note speakers plus some really interesting people who are giving some presentations over the following few days.
We’ve had loads of interest in iMeta Agility and some really good feedback on our stand.
We’ve now also got some friendly neighbours in the form of iSQI who have a cool stand run by Jana and Silvia.
So far the day has been a mixture of intense introductions to agility and mi-voice and moments of quiet as people go of to see the likes of Elisabeth Hendrickson, Lisa Crispin, Tom and Mary Poppendieck, Isable Evans and Stuart Reid and Tom Gilb. There is probably about 100 people here today all milling around and having a great day.
The venue is awesome. A kind of purpose built conference centre with super fast Wi-Fi and superb facilities.
Interest in the planning poker cards is outstanding, as is the interest in finding out more about iMeta Agility.
Tomorrow sounds like it is going to be a good day. I’m going to be doing my presentation tomorrow also.
If you are at AgileTestingDays then please do pop over and say hi. You can’t miss us stood by the iMeta stand.
The twitter hashtag being used is #agiletd.
