Please hear me out about LAST emails
We all get too much email. So, I don't blame you if you've hit the Unsubscribe link at the bottom of emails that get sent to you from LAST. However, you may be missing out on info you do need to know.
For example, you risk missing important information about any online sessions (meeting joining links, reminder emails) or an in-person Conference (event info packs and reminder emails) you register for. We take a lot of care to provide detailed information about LAST Conferences with everything you need to know about the event. We also schedule reminder emails to make sure you don't miss the event.
A couple of times a month, we send out an update about what new things are uploaded to the LAST Club Libraries. Sometimes, we have some special workshops, like the ones we had recently with Lisette Sutherland, and Alia Connor and Fiona Siseman.
Even less frequently details of a discount or other offer that one of the friends...
From the archive. Why I started the LAST Mini-conference
From 2012, this post was written by co-founder of LAST Conferences, Ed.
LAST Day Melbourne is a one day, low cost, grassroots mini-conference for Lean, Agile, and Systems Thinking practitioners. The day will be structured to allow participation and interaction via workshops and activities, rather than death by projector.
Regular readers will remember my writeup about Agile Tour Sydney. That article had a call to action, regarding doing something along the same lines, here in Melbourne.
When I got back, I was able to enthuse Craig Brown, a fellow co-organiser in the Melbourne Meetup scene and we’ve been working on the idea for the last couple of months.
Originally, we wanted to do something really rapidly, holding the event in March, or even February. The Agile Tour is held between October and December, and I just couldn’t wait that long for Melbourne to have its turn.
Reality stepped in though, as we realised that we probably needed a little time to clear the New...

All Snakes and no Ladders. Postponing, but we'll be back.
Sometimes it feels like it's all Snakes and no Ladders, but one thing we've all learned in the last 16 months is that things can change…fast.
Due to what has happened in the past couple of days, we have made the decision to postpone the Mini-LAST Conference scheduled for next Friday (23/7).
The advice is that this lockdown may be lifted from Wednesday morning, however even if things went great for the next couple of days,there will most likely be a gradual relaxation. We couldn’t see how we could achieve what we were setting out to do.
We have to keep on trucking though, and on the bright side, we had a decent response for the event, so with more time and improvement in the general situation…the postponed event should be great!
Rescheduled date
We have been talking with the Abbotsford Convent and have a rescheduled date for this event as follows:
Friday 3 September 2021
9:00am - 4:45pm
We anticipate that...

Free Members were able to join many of the live sessions, with many of the recordings being available in the free library for a limited time. You can view a Preview of the sessions and also join for free, to access what is in the Free Library. We also have a Slack group that has over 2000 members. Come and find your people.
