About us
Our Mission
OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, AND FOR THE PEOPLE
But what does that really mean? AgileDC is the largest Agile community organized event in the Washington DC metro area. So, not only does a group of Agile folks come together to organize the event (everything from vetting white papers to planning and logistics to marketing), but speakers share their time, expertise, and invaluable experiences so that others can benefit from their successes (they even pay for their own travel expenses!), and a generous group of sponsors donate the greenbacks to help make it all happen. All proceeds are then donated to charities chosen by the volunteers. How cool is that!
Our Values
AgileDC is the largest Agile community organized event in the Washington DC metro area and brings together thought leaders and practitioners from government, not for profits, and private industry alike to grow our local software community.
Unique Community
We bring disparate elements of our community together from government, not for profits, and private industry to share innovative ideas and experiences.
Not for Profit & For Benefit
We raise money to cover the expenses of running the conference and supporting philanthropic work with the remainder
Enabling the Public Sector
Organizing and presenting key information effectively increases the likelihood of turning your visitors into customers.
Not Bigger, Just Better
We value the experience we provide to our community over increasing the size of the conference.
Environmentally Conscious
We provide a conference with as minimal an environmental footprint as possible.

Our Impact
AgileDC is a not-for-profit conference. The organizing members, volunteers and speakers are also not compensated for their service. As a result, all post-expense revenue raised through sponsorships and registration is distributed back to the community through non-profit agencies.
Our profits from the event result in direct contributions to GREAT causes like these.
