**Louise Howells: Stop team toxicity and get better results.**
Join Louise as she shares how she built high performing teams in multi-million-pound companies. She’ll help explain why teams fall out, and how to help them work better together.

**Murray Tait: Cargo Cults and Agile Software – The Dangers of Mimicking Without Understanding**
As Agile spreads through software development, many teams fall into "cargo cult" behaviour—adopting Agile practices like stand-ups and sprints without understanding their underlying principles. Much like the Pacific islanders who built imitation airstrips after WWII, believing it would bring them planes of cargo, teams often mimic Agile rituals without reaping its true benefits.

**Food & Refreshments**
A variety of food from around 6pm, including vegetarian and vegan options, and refreshments through the evening.
