GOAT'19
2019
The last edition mixed a full conference room, sponsor energy, and the familiar registration-table ritual at the Shaw Centre.
A look back at over a decade of community-run Agile conferences in the Gatineau–Ottawa region.
History
Seven conferences from 2012 to 2019 — here's a look back at every edition.
Photo highlights
A curated set of photos from the archive: packed rooms, volunteer teams, hallway conversations, and the people who kept GOAT moving.
The last edition mixed a full conference room, sponsor energy, and the familiar registration-table ritual at the Shaw Centre.
A year with strong room energy, a visible volunteer crew, and the kind of after-event gathering that made the conference feel local.
The 2017 archive is all about people: volunteer portraits, community groups, and the proud faces behind the event.
2016 had the range: a packed main room, hands-on workshops, coaching conversations, and one very Ottawa cameo.
Spotlight
Our final conference was also one of the most memorable. For the first time, GOAT designed a custom volunteer t-shirt and a dedicated event logo — a small but proud milestone for the team.
2019 volunteer t-shirt — "No GOAT, No Glory"
The purple volunteer t-shirts became a symbol of the dedication behind every GOAT event — the organizers, helpers, and community members who showed up year after year to make it happen for free.
Though the conferences paused after 2019, the community never stopped. The Agile Ottawa meetup group has kept gathering continuously since 2009.
