Agile Coach Camp Worldwide – Costa Rica

Dedicated to coaches connecting, sharing, learning, and networking from around the globe!

Agile Coach Camp Worldwide (ACC-WW) is happening! The annual event will take place from 21-23 September in San  José, Costa Rica.

Continuing a 16-Year Legacy

The first Agile Coach Camp in 2008 was organized by Naresh Jain and Deb Hartmann-Preuss and brought together a number of coaches from around the world. Thereafter most Agile Coach Camps were held within their own countries. This is of course great! We want coaches regionally to grow and learn from each other. The Agile Alliance’s Agile Coach Camp Initiative helps support these Camps.

The thing that gets missed though is the diverse perspectives when you cross countries and continents. This is where Agile Coach Camp Worldwide fits. These annual Camps bring together coaches from around the world, which adds deeper learning to that experience. During the COVID pandemic, ACC-WW had the Home Edition. This was a virtual event – what we realized is that there were many places in the world where there were coaches that didn’t have much local community support.

An Experiment – A Costa Rican Destination Event!

We’re running an experiment this year to help serve the areas of the world where attending in the United States becomes prohibitively expensive. Our goal is to take ACC-WW outside the US to improve its reach, yet keep it within reach for people who have often attended Camps in the past. This led us to plan a Camp in Costa Rica. This makes it a rather central (as well as Central American) location for the entire Western Hemisphere as well as a frequent ecotourism spot for the world. (Yes we encourage you to add a day or two vacation, you’ll be glad you did!)

The Camp will be run for 3 full days using Open Space, where each day the participants will set the agenda of challenges, questions, or topics they wish to explore. This peer exploration invites you to learn about what is most passionate to you, the attendee.
