England's premier practical, hands-on agile & lean conference, returning to Cambridge in 2026 for its 15th edition

📅 Date: 30 September -1 October 2026

🌐 Location: Churchill College, Cambridge

The UK's longest-running practitioner-led agile conference

Running since 2010, Agile Cambridge returns to Churchill College, Cambridge University for its 15th edition - practitioners teaching practitioners, multiple session formats, and an evening punting through the colleges with drinks and fellow participants.

Designed to spark ideas, share practical insights, and support meaningful learning, where theory meets practice. This year's theme is Constraint as a Catalyst: How do you do great work under pressure?

Practitioner-led. Cambridge-based. Worth the trip

Real people, real conversations

Agile Cambridge is intimate enough to actually talk to the speakers. Whether it's your first conference or your fifteenth, you will find your feet quickly and leave with connections that last well beyond the two days.

Practical, not theoretical

28 sessions across four tracks, built around real work by practitioners, for practitioners. Mix and match talks, case studies and hands-on workshops to fit what you actually need. Leave with ideas you can put to use the following week.

A setting unlike any other

Two days at Churchill College, Cambridge University, with an evening punting through the colleges on the river. A conference you will remember for more than the slides.

More reasons to join us

The programme is shaped by a community panel of practitioners, chosen for real-world experience and picked on substance - so you leave with something you can actually use.

Constraint as a Catalyst

How do you do great work under pressure?

Our 2026 theme explores how teams and organisations harness constraint and crisis - leadership, systems, innovation and resilient careers, all under pressure.

A community that keeps giving

The conference ends, the connections do not.

The hallway conversations are as valuable as the sessions. Many participants stay in touch - through shared contacts and picking up conversations that carry on well past the two days.

Everything taken care of

Stay focused, energised and fully immersed.

Arrival pastries to start the day, hot and cold drinks and snacks at every break, and a hot lunch in Churchill College's dining hall, so you can stay focused on the sessions rather than working out where to eat.

Little extras

Thoughtful touches that make the experience memorable.

Enjoy games, creative spaces and small surprises woven through the two days.
