A Toast to the 2023 Milestones, Memories, and YOU!

December 27, 2023 by Rosie

To our dear Kanban family,

And just like that… another year comes to an end. Our gratitude for this amazing Kanban community is unending. We are so proud of the support and friendships we have with each other, and our common and continuous drive to make an impact with the power of the Kanban Method.

As we celebrate the magic of the holidays, we want to express our heartfelt appreciation for you. YOU make our world brighter! Thank you ALL for being with us on this incredible journey.

The Kanban University team already has several things planned for next year that we are excited to share with our community. We cannot wait to see what 2024 has in store for us all! But as we say goodbye to 2023, let’s review some of the highlights from the year.

  • Kanban Events Around the Globe
  • New Kanban University Tool Partners and Partner Webinar Series
  • Resources and Translations Additions
  • New Kanban University Courses

With that, we wish you ALL a beautiful start to the New Year!

Your friends at Kanban University

Kanban Events Around the Globe

Kanban University was grateful to host two very successful Kanban Leadership Retreats in 2023, one in Mayrhofen, Austria, and the other in San Diego, California. These retreats foster innovation and passionate discussions. Not only do they contribute to the vitality of the community, nurturing relationships and collaboration, advancing our methodology, but they also provide us at Kanban University with valuable insights learned from your Kanban journeys. Thank you to all who were able to join us this year and we look forward to seeing many of you next May in Cascais, Portugal!

We are very proud of the successful Kanban Conferences, new and well-established events, held around the world including Kanban Brazil in September, Kanban Australia in October, Kanban Day Peru in November, and ending the year with Kanban India in December. We are incredibly grateful for these amazing partners that take on the challenge of organizing these large-scale events and making Kanban accessible around the globe.

2024 will be filled with many of these returning events as well as a few new Kanban Day additions in Germany and Poland. Keep an eye out for our newsletters and continue to check our events calendar to see which Kanban Conference may be happening in your area!
