CTO Summit
Thursday, May 11, 9:30am - 6:00pm
CTO summit is a chance for a range of senior engineering leaders working at larger companies to connect with and learn from their peers with a full day of presentations, participation and networking. The summit is comprised of two keynotes, three short “hot takes” on the future of engineering leadership, and three in-depth topics where we take 90 minutes to do a deep dive into a key challenge common to most engineering leaders. We kick off each topic with three short fifteen minute presentations from practitioners sharing their experiences and then spend the last 45 minutes in peer discussions and exercises designed so we can leave the summit with a specific, actionable plan tailored to our circumstances ready for implementing when we get back to work.
