Speaking at a LeadDev event is different

What’s it like?

We are a safe, welcoming space that wants all voices of the engineering leadership community to be heard. Whether it is your first-ever live talk or your 50th, we want to champion your ideas. 

If you have thought about giving a talk at a LeadDev conference or event, read on to see what we’re looking for.

What subject should you focus on?

Our four main themes for Lead Dev are:

• Team (anything related to people management, inclusive & diverse environments, hiring & retention, challenging issues etc.)
• Tech (anything related to new languages, frameworks & technologies, trends & changes, scaling, architecture etc.) 
• Process  (anything related to the way your team works, Agile & other delivery methods, maintaining a high-performing team etc.) 
• Personal Development (anything related to improving leadership skills, maintaining your mental health, adapting to a new role etc.)  

Who will you be speaking to?

Our audience comprises all senior engineering folk, from tech leads to VPs. They are consistently technical (across a very broad range of technologies and industries) with many line-managing people in their organisations. It’s also important to note that some attendees have just been promoted or are trying to figure out what skills they need to progress into a tech lead role.
