This Week's LeSS Conference in Amsterdam: Lessons Learned

The first ever Large Scale Scrum (LeSS) Conference (http://less-large-scale-scrum.com/) took place on August 30th -31st of 2016. Budgeted to accommodate around 150 people, it was oversubscribed (around 180). The event took place in the beautiful city of Amsterdam, in the cathedral style audience hall Rode Hoed (http://www.rodehoed.nl/en/).

A few folks from the US have also joined. Among those that came were Jeff McKenna (https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjEqpqK4PDOAhVQ22MKHc5jCegQFggcMAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.scrumalliance.org%2Fcommunity%2Fprofile%2Fjmckenna2&usg=AFQjCNFmGwPX96DPT1FXW1qITGW3KCsuAw&sig2=aoG3vIuY0IxZfwV6l4O6tg&bvm=bv.131669213,d.dmo) and Michael James (https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwirtteY4PDOAhVB-mMKHXE0BScQFggcMAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.scrumalliance.org%2Fcommunity%2Fprofile%2Fmjames&usg=AFQjCNFaXydX4un5XGFLoeXeFgfmNthMgg&sig2=CorQjn-L2LBKs51F9Y3LVQ&bvm=bv.131669213,d.dmo), as well as the very our own member Vicky Morgan (https://www.linkedin.com/in/vmorg) and myself.

One of the hottest topics of discussion was....local LeSS communities. I was proud to represent the city that had the biggest and the most active LeSS community - globally. I was asked to share our experiences :)
