August 13-17. The Gordon Pask Award recognizes technology professionals whose recent contributions to Agile practices demonstrate their potential to become leaders of the field.

“The idea behind the award is that we in the Agile community need to do more to promote and encourage the rising stars of tomorrow. These are people who help other people: both indirectly, by producing tools or ideas other people use, and also through direct support of some Agile community,” said Brian Marick, consultant and Agile Alliance member.
