I've either been attending or covering the Agile Day event for many years at this point. Its a great crowd and a bit of a reunion since I run into people I've worked with for over 10 years. For the past several years its been at Pace University.

Joe Krebs (on the left, above) has been running the show for several years now and has announced that he'll be passing the torch for next year. It'll be exciting to see how the show evolves in the future.

Large crowd joined in for the keynote speaker.

This year, I managed to grab a few shots of a live-blogger of sorts.  He had some great sketches. — This year, I managed to grab a few shots of a live-blogger of sorts. He had some great sketches.

Another sketch and juggling?  Yes, juggling. — Another sketch and juggling? Yes, juggling.

The afternoon wrapped up with the Open Space. Joe kicked off the introduction of the concept which is for the audience to determine what the topics are and the time slot and then if people are interested, there will be a conversation. You can come and go as you please. It can make for interesting conversation.

Back in September, I connected with Joe Krebs again to shoot material that would be used for a promotional video for the Agile NYC event that happens annually. As you can imagine, there's a lot of planning and effort that goes into putting a day together that includes speakers, vendors, workshops, entertainers, keynote speakers, etc. My role was to capture the day and showcase the vibe and the energy of both the presenters and the speakers.

As I started to think about what I wanted to see in a video, I knew I wanted to have Joe anchor the structure of the video so I had him talk about what the structure of the current event was and talk a little about what might be coming up next year. I used this as a jumping off point for other material I show. As was typical for this kind of thing, there's A LOT of material that I shoot that I don't show. It gives you options as you start to tell the story and it can also provide ways to parse up smaller bits to feature in other ways.

After several revisions and working closely with Joe on the final output, I'm happy to show the finished result. Check out the Agile NYC page for more information and future event details.
