Aaron Sanders is moderating the panel discussion "What Makes This Agile Ours? A Talk with Previous Gordon Pask Award Winners" at 11:00am on the Leadership & Teams stage of Agile 2009. I'll be there, as will Bob Payne, Arlo Belshee, Steve Freeman, Kenji Hiranabe, Laurent Bossavit, J. B. Rainsberger, and Jeff Patton. The panel has a neat iterative structure and should be a lot of fun. Here's the blurb:

The Agile Alliance states that "The Gordon Pask Award recognizes two people whose recent contributions to Agile Practice make them, in the opinion of the Award Committee, people others in the field should emulate." This panel brings together some of the previous winners so that they may share their contributions and help encourage others to participate in building the body of Agile knowledge. For the intermediate practitioner, it should reinforce the notion that as we practice Agile and learn how to adapt for the best outcome, sharing what we learn helps the whole community.
