Regional Scrum Gathering Tokyo 2027

Overview

Japan's largest Scrum and Agile conference, held every January since 2011. The 2027 edition returns to Bellesalle Haneda Airport in hybrid format.

• Coaches Clinic offering free 15-minute sessions with experienced agile coaches
• Online check-in on Discord on the evening of Jan 5
