I\u2019m very much looking forward to participating in\u00a0Play4Agile 2012<\/a> in Germany next month. \u00a0Last year\u2019s inaugural event was such an amazing experience that registration for this year\u2019s unconference sold out in less than 12 hours. \u00a0 I registered for p4a11 one year ago today, thinking that I would take a bit of a busman\u2019s holiday \u2013 fly to Germany for a weekend (!?!), meet some interesting people over some good beer, and hopefully learn a new game or two to use with the teams I work with.<\/p>\n

At last year\u2019s event, I definitely learned a few new games. \u00a0I also helped create 2 new games with people from 4 different countries, taking challenging ideas from concept to a first play test in less than 5 hours, and learned some great stuff about game design along the way. \u00a0I experienced the magic of LEGO Serious Play for the first time. And I met wonderful people: there were many gifted coaches there who shared their wisdom and experience through Open Space sessions, during shared meals, and over beers into the wee hours of the morning. \u00a0 The energy and spirit of the event was astonishing \u2013 despite having slept very little because of the time difference, I returned home revitalized, refreshed and raring to go.<\/p>\n

So what will this year\u2019s event bring? \u00a0The theme for this year\u2019s event is \u201cHigh PLAYformance for Agile teams\u201d. I believe that play is a critical component for successful teams, and I\u2019m hoping to get some ideas for how to bring more playfulness into day-to-day work. \u00a0I\u2019m really looking forward to meeting up with the Europe-based StrategicPlay gang again and doing more cool things with LEGO. \u00a0I\u2019m especially looking forward to the evenings in the bar at the\u00a0SeminarZentrum R\u00fcckersbach, where the days will be discussed over Werewolf or Smallworld or Bausack. \u00a0I know it will be a great unconference \u2013 the only challenge will be figuring out how to get enough sleep to make the most of it.<\/p>\n
