Dec 2016 came along and we had a first time meetup of agile + ux + product in Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore.

First combined Agile Singapore + UXSG + #ProductBeer in Dec 2016
First combined Agile MY + UXMY + PM Huddle in Dec 2016
Product Group Jakarta first meetup in Dec 2016
Agile Indonesia tries out Open Space — not quite crossed over with Product Group Jakarta yet but soon …

It was truly inspiring watching the energy but a problem remained .. it was still in silos (of countries).

Agile Singapore and UXSG would also hold their third conference in 2016 before taking a break.

UXSG Conference 2016- That’s right, there is a monk for our keynote for the theme of Transformation of Self!

2017 would prove to be a turning point where multiple countries would also launch their own communities and start thinking about their own events.

Agile ID, Agile VN, UXPH, ProductPH … Malaysia was thinking about conferences too … UXID, UXPH would plan for 2018.

Having learnt the hard way what 3 conferences can do a volunteer teams (burning out), there seem to be a time for genuine dialogue across the community organisers.

Important to grab a beer among organisers whenever we can :)
