Why Calibrate?
As fast as we're growing our engineering teams, we're also creating engineering leaders and it's often learn-as-you-go. Engineering leadership has a specific set of challenges with respect to the intersection of people, technology and process, and almost no reference material or developmental community surrounding it.
Let’s change that.
We’re bringing together accomplished engineering veterans to address the unique needs of newly minted engineering leaders. We’ll share what it’s like to grow from an engineer to a leader, and offer advice on what to learn in your first few years of leadership. You’ll take away tactics and frameworks for decision making you can put to work immediately.
Who Attends?
Calibrate is aimed at practicing engineering managers, responsible for the people on their team. New people managers will get the most out of this day. As you decide if this conference is for you, know that this event includes people from varying experience levels:
- most attendees are new to management
- some people haven’t yet started their first management role
- a few are managing ... without the title
- and a small group are veterans (including our speakers)
These are the people you will be meeting, networking with, eating lunch with, talking about hard problems with.
