In this episode, hosts Susan Moore and Scott Bennett talk with the organizers and speakers from the 2024 IIBA Soft Ed Festival of Business Analysis. The conference organizers, Briana Ertanin and Luigi Bini, along with the planning team, share how they used the 3 I's—Innovate, Inspire, and Ignite—to set the vision for the event.

Then, we chat with three of the many speakers, Jen Battan, Glenn Brule, and Lauren Ryder, who share their perspectives on the role of business analysis in various contexts. As always, it's a lively conversation with plenty of twists and turns!

We also take a moment to thank Scott for his contributions to our podcast as he transitions from IIBA to becoming a full-time YouTuber.
