RTE & Scrum Master Summit 2026

Connect. Learn. Grow together.

The RTE & Scrum Master Summit 2026 brings together experienced Release Train Engineers and Scrum Masters for two inspiring days of learning, connection, and meaningful exchange.

This renewed edition of the former RTE Summit reflects the evolving Agile landscape. Today’s RTEs and advanced Scrum Masters operate in increasingly complex environments and are expected to bring depth, leadership, and advanced facilitation skills. This summit is designed to meet that reality — with content that challenges, inspires, and supports professionals who want to keep growing their craft.

What to expect

Across the summit, you’ll engage with peers, practitioners, and thought leaders who understand the realities of working in large-scale Agile and SAFe environments. Expect high-quality sessions, real-world stories, and plenty of opportunities to learn from one another.

A tale of roles, systems, alignment and human interaction

When AI researchers are asked about their biggest concern, they often return to the story of the Genie in the bottle.

Once released, the Genie grants three wishes. The holder of the lamp might say something like “I want to be the richest person on the planet.” And in a split second everyone else on Earth loses their money, making the holder technically the richest person alive.

Clearly that was not what was meant.This is what AI researchers call misalignment. The system does exactly what was asked, but not what was intended.

Now if you take that thought experiment and bring it into the world of organizations, things become even more interesting.

Organizations are also systems of intelligence, except that instead of a single artificial brain they contain hundreds of human ones, each interpreting signals, priorities and responsibilities slightly differently.

The real question then becomes how such a system manages to stay aligned at all.

At the RTE & Scrum Master Summit we explore that question by looking at three aspects that quietly determine whether intelligence inside organizations actually works together: alignment, systems and interaction.

And perhaps the most interesting realization is that the “magic” of such systems rarely comes from structures, frameworks or tools. It usually appears when people inside the system start helping the intelligence around them align.

Which means that by the end of the summit, you might discover that you don’t actually need a magic wand to make these systems work a little better.

You might already be one.
