(Chris, Gwen and Steve)<\/strong><br \/>\nEach year, we listen to CFP community feedback, and this year is no different. Changes for 2025 include rebranding our tracks, and classifying talk\/workshop types, to clarify session intent during the CFP and on the day. But the biggest change is a new speaker question:<\/p>\n<p><em>Q. Do you identify as an under-represented minority (no &#8211; prefer not to say &#8211; yes)<\/em><br \/>\nThis tells us if you self-identify as part of a URM in the IT industry e.g. by ethnicity, gender, disability, neurodiversity, and more. It helps us understand if we&#8217;re creating an inclusive environment. This isn\u2019t shown to reviewers<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re asking this question to better understand under-representation within the Agile on the Beach community. There\u2019s a good definition here, albeit for TV rather than the IT industry. Diversity is so important to us, and part of that is people being able to self-identify. We know of other industry events where well-intentioned organisers identify a speaker as diverse based on their LinkedIn page. We\u2019ve done that in previous years, and we don&#8217;t believe this is good enough.<\/p>\n<p>If you have any feedback, please get in touch at cfp@agileonthebeach.com. We are always learning and your feedback is valuable to us. And if you\u2019d like help writing a proposal, just ask!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Join Us at Agile on the Beach 2025<\/strong><br \/>\nAgile on the Beach is more than a conference \u2014 it\u2019s a community.
