Directions to Lopata Hall from East End Garage. To reach the campus, take the elevator to Level 1 which is located in the corner by the North Entry/Exit (near Hoyt Drive). As you exit the elevator, proceed ahead and go left to continue on the sidewalk. The Scott Rudolph Hall will be the first building you will pass on your right. Continue until you reach the 2nd archway which is identified at the top of the archway as ‘The Sever Institute of Technology’. At the top of the stairs, enter Lopata Hall on your right. The elevator will be to your left. The Technology & Leadership Center is located on the 5th floor.

Take the elevator up to the 5th floor, go left out of the elevator and you will be at the Technology & Leadership Center.
About the event
This is a follow-up to our popular event from May 2019: Agile in Systems Engineering.
If you are a professional in one of the technology fields that have been hit by the AGILE wave, and ever wondered how complex systems can be designed, synthesized, deployed, and maintained using AGILE methods, this is your opportunity to learn from experts. Join us at the Technology & Leadership Center at the McKelvey School of Engineering on the Washington University in St. Louis campus to hear from two of the finest AGILE practitioners, and consultants that St. Louis area has to offer.
Rob Simon and Matt Ingram have been consulted by several AGILE teams in different disciplines during various phases of product lifecycles to lead them in successful project execution. These are two individuals who can certainly say BEEN THERE AND DONE THAT! When it comes to complex systems design and development using AGILE methods.
