They said:
When designing 1st Conference 2017, we wanted to:
<UL>
<LI>
Refresh the format 
…and be the first event in the Southern Hemisphere to be based upon the “<A HREF="http://heartofagile.com/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Heart of Agile</A>” concept. This seeks to get back to the roots of what Agile is really all about and is the result of decades of experience that Dr Cockburn has, working with organisations and teams who want to find better ways to work. 
</LI>
<LI>
Create more meaningful Learning Opportunities. 1st Conf will run over two days and is designed to be an experience for delegates to cover the Heart of Agile of concepts of Collaborate, Deliver, Reflect and Improve. With top class experts from overseas and also from our region.
</LI>
</UL>
On Day One, each concept will be explored by experts on the subject area in a series of talks intended to position and explain the quadrant within the larger Heart of Agile model.  
Day Two is intended to deepen the understanding from day one, through a series of practical workshops. Delegates will be able to attend a workshop covering each Heart of Agile area. Each workshop will teach one or more practical techniques that attendees can take back to their workplaces and put to immediate use.   
<UL>
<LI>
Use a new venue. 
We selected RMIT’s Storey Hall as its spaces support the new format in a better way than the previous venue.
</LI>
<LI>
Support diversity.  We as organisers support conference diversity and we commit to enhance the diversity of speakers and workshop facilitators.
