For the first time ever, #TeamInflectra had the opportunity to attend the Agile Trends conference in São Paulo, Brazil with out partner OAT Solutions. Known to be the largest agile conference in Brazil, Agile Trends brings together thousands of experts and professionals who have been driving agility in their own companies. Managers, testers, and developers from a wide range of industries gather to participate in keynotes, debates, and workshops. Here’s the recap of our Agile Trends conference adventure.
Preparing the Joint Booth
We’re grateful for our partner OAT Solutions who asked Inflectra to share a joint booth at the conference this year. As we look to expand our footprint in the LATAM region, we were delighted to take up OAT’s offer. The Inflectra Team went straight to planning. Since the conference was in Brazil, we had to figure out the best way to ship some booth materials and of course, some swag, to São Paulo.
Luckily, some members from the OAT team were passing through DC earlier this month. The Partnerships team was able to meet with them for lunch in DC, and pass off some conference supplies!
Meeting at the Frei Caneca Convention Center
Early Monday morning, the Inflectra Team made their way to the Frei Caneca Convention Center. The Frei Caneca Convention Center is considered one of the country’s most renowned venues due to its location, infrastructure, comfort, security, and its wide breadth of services. We could immediately see why it was a top location!
Plus, they had some fun bean bag chairs to lay on when our feet needed a break.
Setting Up the Inflectra Booth
Once we navigated our way to our space at the convention center, it was time to set-up and meet our OAT Solutions partner friends. We were lucky enough to have a spot right next to the large conference hall where thousands gathered to listen to keynote speakers.
When the conference started, the people poured in! We had the opportunity to meet a lot of attendees and talk about our products. We soon discovered that Inflectra was one of the only companies who presented automation and RPA solutions, functionalities required to be Agile. With OAT Solutions, we were able to present our solutions with their services and in-depth knowledge of our tools.
Keynote Speakers and Prizes
Throughout the conference, we had the opportunity to listen to a wide variety of speakers who discussed topics like powering digital transformation with an agile model, agile practices in operational planning, opportunities for lawyers in the world of agility, and more.
We were proud to have our logo projected on the wall next to the main conference stage.
We also participated in a prize give-away for Agile Trends attendees. Two prize winners received a pair of AirPods engraved with the Inflectra name. Who doesn’t love a good prize?
Rockin' n' Rollin' Our Way Through the Conference
On top of the great venue, keynote speakers, and networking opportunities, Agile Trends brought in a local band that rocks the best pubs and bars in São Paulo. This gave us the energy we needed to continue sharing our products and methodologies with the thousands of attendees!
Until next year, Agile Trends!
Bonus: Visiting our Partner Targetware Informatica
While in Brazil, we stopped on by the headquarters of our new partner Targetware Informatica. We were able to give a quick training on Inflectra products and strategize a partnership roadmap. Thanks for meeting with us, Targetware team!
We Look Forward to Seeing You...
... at our annual conference InflectraCON on May 5-6, 2022 in Washington, DC.
