CTO Craft Con: Berlin

The ultimate gathering for CTOs and aspiring tech leaders.

23-24 September 2025

Spielfeld Digital Hub, Berlin

Attendees include…

Real challenges.

Real conversations.

CTO Craft Con: Berlin wrapped up its second edition this September — bringing tech leaders together to dig into the real challenges they’re facing right now.

Over two days, attendees heard from experienced CTOs and industry experts, joined practical sessions, and connected with peers navigating similar leadership, growth, and technical challenges.

It wasn’t a traditional conference — it was a space to learn what works (and what doesn’t), share ideas openly, and leave with tools and insights ready to put into practice straight away.

Next year we’re hitting the road – moving to Amsterdam to bring together tech leaders from across Europe. Stay tuned, it’s going to be big.

Don’t just take our word for it…

This was a valuable networking opportunity. I connected with several interesting and inspiring engineering leaders who I suspect will be thought partners for me in the future. I also found several of the sessions to be extremely relevant, with topics intersecting challenges I face as an engineering leader.

CTO Craft Con is an incredible experience, bringing together some of the brightest minds in tech leadership. The talks are insightful, practical, and inspiring, but what really sets it apart is the networking.

CTO Craft Con Berlin is buzzing with energy! The CTO Craft team has created an incredible atmosphere filled with smart, passionate people. It's fantastic to see such a diverse conference and reconnect with old friends and meet new people. So much to learn from each other, network, and enjoy fun, insightful talks. Thank you for an amazing experience!
