Does anyone know a camp or another event for Facilitators?

[Timofey Yevgrashyn]

Hello everyone,

Does anyone know an even where facilitators can upgrade their skills and get inspired by others experience and participation in different activities?

After my inspirational story about Play4Agile several colleagues of mine are willing to develop themself as facilitators and we are seeking for the event simillar to P4A by the spirit and level of engagement.

So far I consider attending InnovationGames course and participation in ALE2012.

Will appreciate for any other ideas.

I wish there also was a "trainers/educator/learning facilitator camp".

Hello Timofey,

great question.

I hope you will get lots of answers.

here are mine

A few years ago I created the agile conference calendar for that same reason

http://www.hanoulle.be/2010/11/agile-conferences-calendar/

now it is maintained by lots of people (I think +50 )

this gives you insight in conferences

as a facilitator

I think Retrospective facilators gatherings (I have to admit I haven't been to one yet)

http://www.retrospectivefacilitatorgathering.org/

AYE: a "conference" by Jerry weinberg, Johana Rothman, Esther Derby and Don gray

http://www.ayeconference.com/

PSL A weinberg, Derby , Rothmann course

Things that I have followed the last years

Innovation games

Management 3.0 (With Jurgen de smet, but created by Jurgen Appelo

responsibility proces (Christopher Avery)

One day lecture of Jeffrey Liker (Toyota way)

AYE2011

ALE2011

xpdays benelux

agile coaching training from David Hussman

Agile retrospective course from Rachel Davies and Emmanuel Gaillot

product owner course with Jeff Patton

Mike Cohn on user stories and estimation and planning

csm joseph Pelrine

Mccarthy bootcamp (about the core protocols), I did this multiple times and now I am also a training

>> exclusive,, pre-release info we will organize one again in europe in september http://www.paircoaching.net/workshop_en.php?cursusID=3&title=Reboot%20to%20Team%202.0

I followed a few events with Dr Covey

I also followed 2 years (our of a 4 year training program) of therapy training to learn from outside our community 

I also followed a prince2 course, for the same reason

I'm probably forgetting a few.

today I learn most from 2 projects I am running in my own time

"who is agile" working with a fully distributed agile team of volunteers 

Pragauthor a leanstartup that helps authors to group their sales statistics

next to I try to always teach workshops with someone else

that way I learn, while working (wich is a win-win-win)

Yves:

Great suggestions and I would give a +1 to the Retrospectives Facilitators Gathering.  This open-space format gathering alternates between the US and Europe each year and has a mix of highly experienced and emerging facilitators (primarily with an agile background).  I attended the 2009 gathering and still use much of what I learned there.  Hoping to attend the 2013 gathering when it is back in the US.

... and of course there is the annual AgileGames conference in Boston:

Hi Yves,

I follow your calendar for a year and definitely it was the first place I checked on. 

It seems I've missed most of CoachCamp events this year and should wait until next round :-)

Thanks a lot for sharing the list of courses you attended - good list to check myself and recommend to my colleagues.

There are couple events that I probably could catch up this year.

BTW, will you attend ALE2012 and AgileEE 2012? Long time since we met, will be glad to see you again! :-)

one thing that can help is if you are subscribed to the calendar (if it is in your calendar) is to ask google to tell you when someone add's something to the calendar.

that way you know it's comming

cool. 

BTW, will you attend ALE2012 and AgileEE 2012? 

 I am subscribed to ALE 2012, although I have to admit, if I compare the buzz of last year with the silence of this year I am starting to doubt.

No AgileEE for me this year.

like I said, I actually do all my learning while working on the "who is agile" project

>Long time since we met, will be glad to see you again! :-)

the feeling is mutual

Janet Danforth and Robert Moir ( they facilitated the 10th reunion for the authors of Agile Manifesto) also offer public classes as well.  I am looking forward for their new online class "Collaboration Skills 4 Agile Projects"

Having just returned from the PSL training that Yves mentions below, I think it will definitely improve your skills at facilitating experiential learning, along with lots of other good stuff. I had my doubts about it the first few days I was there, but the learning I took with me at the end, plus relationships w/ a bunch of great people, was worth the trouble and expense.

I also enjoyed Agile Coach Camp, and would like to try the rest of the events Yves mentions myself someday!

Hi Timofey, 

Every year (since 2002) we've held a weeklong, open space, international Retrospective Facilitators Gathering in some location around the world. In 2012 it was in Fladungen, Germany. In 2013, it will be on the US east coast. Our discussions aren't limited to facilitating retrospectives but tend to range broadly over many topics related to group facilitating and improvement.

For more information  on the 2013 or future events as it becomes available , I recommend joining the group retrospectiv...@yahoogroups.com and/or joining the Retrospectives LinkedIn group. 

Best, 

Diana Larsen
