- Event lasts 3 hours
Everyone talks about leading through complexity, but what does that really mean in today’s noisy, fast-changing landscape?
Is it knowing which trends to follow and which to ignore?
Balancing relentless pressure to modernise with the risk of burnout?
Holding steady when the tech, the story, and priorities shift at a moment’s notice?
How do you make decisions when there are no clear answers?
Keep focus as everything around you changes?
Lead teams through constant uncertainty and disruption?
This year's theme – Leadership through Hype and Complexity – invites us to examine how we lead when the pressure to follow trends collides with the realities of modern tech delivery.
This evening's unconference is designed for CTOs and senior engineering leaders ready to explore what leadership truly looks like under pressure and how to guide teams through complexity and hype without losing direction.
How it works
This is an unconference, with no keynotes and no panels — just people in a room crowdsourcing the agenda and diving into what actually matters. Suggest a topic, lead a session, or join discussions that resonate.
What to expect
- Crowd-sourced agenda: The conversation is driven by you.
- Interactive sessions: Lead or join discussions on the real challenges you face.
- Unfiltered stories: Lessons learned, mistakes made, and truths rarely spoken out loud.
Likely session themes
- AI and cloud: Cutting through hype to stay strategically focused
- Getting buy-in: Making the case for change when results aren’t immediate
- Delivery pressure: Balancing speed, quality, and modernisation
- Org challenges: Managing impact when key people leave or priorities shift
Who it’s for
CTOs, senior engineering leaders, and those in similar roles navigating tech leadership in a complex, uncertain world.
