Women in Agile: This event is designed to connect and interact with important voices in the community. This year we’re delighted to welcome Nadya Ichinomiya, Head, Agile Center of Excellence at Sony Pictures Entertainment, as our featured guest speaker.

When you are able to tap into the collective experience of this group under one roof, you can understand why this can be such a transformative experience for those attending.

Stay SAFe, and hope to connect with you at the Summit.
