Due to demand from members of the kanbandev group I have created a Lean Kanban conference to bring together the community to discuss and extend the state-of-the-art in using Lean and Kanban in software development and full project lifecycle management.

Registration is now open http://www.leankanbanconference.com/

Many of these people are regular contributors to the kanbandev group and havetogether created and lead the kanban movement over the last 18 months.I believe this is the finest list of proponents of Lean software development ever assembled.

With our 2.5 day format, we have one day of sessions in two tracks, one day of open space and half a day of lightning talks. This will give all attendees the chance to work with the experts directly. I look forward to welcoming you to Miami in May.
