Most agile teams know the theory. The hard part is a backlog nobody trusts, a retro that repeats itself every two weeks, and a release date that slipped again. Agile conferences earn their cost when practitioners show what they changed on a real team and what happened after.
This list covers the 2027 agile events with published dates. Three in the UK and Prague already sell tickets. XP 2027 in Finland brings research and engineering practice together. Agile2027, the Agile Alliance annual conference, has a date in San Diego but no price yet. Prices are in pounds and Czech koruna, so convert them in your own currency before you compare.
Dates, cities and starting prices come from each organizer's official site. When a 2027 price is not public yet, the table says Not announced. Early-bird prices change on fixed dates, so check the figure at checkout. Our method is on How we review tools.

How we picked these conferences
We listed agile development events whose 2027 edition has exact dates on the organizer's site, and left out events with no current date. A missing price did not rule an event out, which is why XP 2027 and Agile2027 are in the calendar. We checked dates, venues and prices on the organizers' sites on 5 Nov 2026. The From column shows the cheapest public ticket that gets you into the talks. Not announced means the organizer has not published 2027 prices yet.
