Over 250 tech leaders attended our first in-person CTO Craft Con in May this year, and the feedback has been exceptional.
But, ever the perfectionists, we asked for input from attendees on how we could improve future events. So, here’s a quick overview of what we’re putting in place for our November conference:
Timings: We’ve adjusted the schedule for a later start on both conference days to give you ample time to arrive and settle in comfortably. It will also allow extra time for icebreaker and networking sessions before the conference starts.
Networking: We’ll introduce more structured networking sessions and offer intimate workshops for small group discussions. This will provide you with more opportunities to connect with like-minded professionals.
More talks, fewer panels: In November, we have allocated more time for punchy presentations focusing on delivering key takeaways and valuable insights that you can take back to the office.
And this is just the start. As the event grows, we will look to implement more of your feedback to make sure we provide you with the best experience possible.
So, what can you expect in November?
CTO Craft Con will again unite 250 Chief Technology Officers and senior technology and engineering leaders to explore the organisational culture issues that determine their success.
Our list of expert speakers is growing, and soon we’ll be able to communicate the full agenda of the confirmed industry leaders who will share their insights and experience with you over two days. Here’s a flavour of some of the amazing leaders speaking:
