The Lean Software and Systems Consortium US-based community conference will be May 3-6 next year, in Long Beach California. The Call for Papers and Registration are now open. The CfP Deadline is Dec 19th and will not be extended.
May 3rd is LeanSSC Technical Advisory Board meeting and pre-conference tutorials. If you intend to attend those you should plan on arriving in Long Beach on May 2nd. The full conference starts on May 4th.
The Lean Software and Systems Conference is the Kanban conference for North and South America in 2011. This is where the community gathers and is where you will get the first chance to see and hear the best new material.
We will also be awarding the Brickell Key Award for outstanding achievement, leadership and community contribution for the 2nd year. A Call for Nominations will be made within the next week. Please consider who you’d like to nominate for the award. Last year’s worthy winners were David Joyce and Alisson Vale. This year they, together with David Anderson, Alan Shalloway, Donald Reinertsen and I, make up the selection committee. The Award banquet will be held on Thursday May 5th in Long Beach. Be sure to select the banquet as part of your registration if you would like to be part of ceremony and festivities.
Volcanoes and other natural disasters or Black Swans permitting, I hope to see you there.
