Join us for an exciting milestone event as Agile Yorkshire ventures beyond Leeds for the first time! We're partnering with the Sheffield chapter of the British Computer Society for a special evening of agile insights and community building.
Our journey to Sheffield marks a wonderful opportunity to connect with fellow agile practitioners across Yorkshire. We're particularly grateful to Eva Barabas from the BCS Sheffield chapter, whose work behind the scenes has made this collaboration possible.
The evening features two exceptional speakers. We're delighted to welcome Rohit Ratan Mani, who brings his wealth of experience as a certified coach and trainer to share his agile experiences within the pharma sector. Rohit has experience, practical guidelines and valuable lessons learned from implementing agile practices in heavily regulated environments.
Joining Rohit is our very own Catherine Bonner, Agile Yorkshire's speaking coach extraordinaire. Catherine will offer an engaging preview of our popular speaker workshop – a free resource we proudly provide to all Agile Yorkshire speakers, past and future, as part of our commitment to nurturing talent within our community.
Don't miss this chance to be part of Agile Yorkshire's expanding footprint and connect with like-minded professionals in Sheffield. Come along to share experiences, learn from industry experts, and be part of our agile community!

Code of Conduct:
Events
Agile Yorkshire is dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, race, age or religion.

Harassment
We do not tolerate harassment of community participants in any form. Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate for any conference venue, including talks. Community participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from an event without a refund at the discretion of the event organisers.

Harassment includes, but is not limited to:

Verbal comments that reinforce social structures of domination
Sexual images in public spaces
Deliberate intimidation, stalking, or following
Harassing photography or recording
Sustained disruption of talks or other events
Inappropriate physical contact
Unwelcome sexual attention
Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behaviour
Enforcement
Participants asked to stop any harassing behaviour are expected to comply immediately. If a participant engages in harassing behaviour, event organisers retain the right to take any actions to keep the event a welcoming environment for all participants. This includes warning the offender or expulsion from the event - with no refund.

Event organisers may take action to redress anything designed to, or with the clear impact of, disrupting the event or making the environment hostile for any participants. We expect participants to follow these rules at all event venues and event-related social activities. We think people should follow these rules outside event activities too!

Reporting
If someone makes you or anyone else feel unsafe or unwelcome, please report it as soon as possible. Harassment and other code of conduct violations reduce the value of our event for everyone. We want you to be happy at our event. People like you make our event a better place. You can make a report either personally or anonymously.

Anonymous Report
You can make an anonymous report by completing our online conduct form. We can't follow up an anonymous report with you directly, but we will fully investigate it and take whatever action is necessary to prevent a recurrence.

Personal Report
You can make a personal report by contacting a member of the organisation team. When taking a personal report, we will ensure you are safe and cannot be overheard. They may involve others to ensure your report is managed properly.
