Agile Minds Romania Forum 2026 - Building Products in the Age of AI
Agile Minds Romania Forum 2026 is here!
We're turning three!
Agile Minds Romania is celebrating its 3rd anniversary and we're throwing the biggest event yet: a full-day conference for our community with an appealing agenda with international speakers, see below!
This year's theme is "Building Products in the Age of AI", and we've packed the day with keynotes, a discussion panel, presentations, and hands-on workshops that dig into how AI is reshaping the way we build, ship, and think about products.
Whether you're a product person, a scrum master, an engineer, or just someone curious about where things are heading, there's something in this lineup for you.
Huge thanks to our crew for putting this together, and to our amazing sponsors: Nagarro, Scrum.org, PM Access and AgileFM for making it happen.
Speaking of Nagarro, they're also opening their doors for us, so this event is happening in-person at their office in Orhideea Towers, Bucharest.
Expect good energy, remarkable ideas, good conversations, tasty food, great coffee and a room full of people who genuinely care about doing great work.
The event is free to attend! All we need is your time and contribution during the day. But seats are limited, so don't sit on this one too long.
Grab your spot, mark your calendar, and come celebrate three years of Agile Minds Romania with us on November 16.
Register now before the seats run out!
