Toyota Connected North America's Chief of Agile, Nigel Thurlow, will be a keynote speaker at the conference -- which will focus on the role of Agile in business transformation efforts.

"Toyota is a long-time leader in technology and process management. AgileCamp represents an opportunity to help the Agile community by sharing some of our best practices learned from decades of experience," said Thurlow. "As a global mobility leader with a deep heritage of innovation, we are uniquely positioned to help move the community forward," he added.

"We are honored to count Toyota Connected North America as a major sponsor of AgileCamp," said Stacey Louie, founder of the AgileCamp conference series and Hyperdrive Agile Leadership, a Silicon Valley-based Agile advisory and training firm. "Our attendees will benefit tremendously from Toyota's involvement and by listening to Nigel, who is an internationally renowned Agile expert."

"As the originator of the famed 'Toyota Production System' and the 'Toyota Way' culture, Toyota is arguably the founder and creator of many of the business process and operations management practices used today," Louie added.

Thurlow will also host a new public class called "Scrum: The Toyota Way" in concert with AgileCamp Dallas-Fort Worth. The ICAgile certified course will be held on Oct. 31-Nov. 1, 2018 in Frisco, TX prior to the AgileCamp Dallas-Fort Worth conference. The course will give students a rare glimpse into Toyot's highly successful operating processes while providing an introduction to agile methodologies and some of the advanced patterns Toyota is using, as well as teaching how the Toyota Production System is woven into its agile approaches. For more information and to register for the class go to: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/scrum-the-toyota-way-tickets-48621019779
