What Happens at #ACRWineCountry24?

Agile Coaching Retreats are built around the principles of Retreat, Scrum, Deep, Long, Shared Learning, Two Sleeps, and Slack. These retreats are designed in such a way that the participants determine what is most valuable for them create together. In addition to the focused time to practice coaching skills, network and create, there will also be a keynote speaker to provide expert insights on coaching.

Principles: The Scrum Alliance Agile Coaching Retreat is developed in alignment with the agile/Scrum values and we curate the event to guide your work and connections:

Retreat – The event creates time and space for focused learning and growth.
Scrum – Learning is done using an empirical framework called Scrum.
Teams – Teams are the heart of Scrum and are a key differentiator at the Retreats.
Deep – Teams go deep into single topics, rather than covering many broad areas.
Long – Learning, collaboration, and relationships continue long after the event.
Shared learning – The event is designed for deep, collaborative, shared learning.
Two sleeps – Connections are made when our brains are quiet; the two nights of sleep allow for creative idea formation.

About the Venue

Agile Coaching Retreat Wine Country 2024 will be held at Lodge at Marconi

18500 State HWY 1
Marshall, CA 94940

Lodge at Marconi has a rich history as a landmark of the destination; the property was originally built in 1914 as a radio receiving station by Guglielmo Marconi, often credited as the “inventor of radio.”
In the early 1960s, a rehabilitation facility known as Synanon took over the site, eventually becoming an infamous “alternative lifestyle community” that eventually dissolved. In recent years, it primarily served as a site for non profit and corporate retreats, conferences, and weddings.
Its location within Tomales Bay showcases the natural beauty of the West Marin coastline. The region is best known for its abundance of outdoor pursuits, vineyards, creameries, and oyster farms. It is conveniently located only an hour away from San Francisco and mere miles east of the extraordinary Point Reyes National Seashore.
