Apologies for the intrusion, but I’m looking for a few good engineering leaders and got some great people from Ruby and Rails meetups in the US :)
I’m an ex-CTO running a CTO Summit in Melbourne on Wednesday December 3rd and Sydney on December 10th in conjunction with YOW! (which I’m presenting at). I ran a CTO Summit in New York back in March. Thought 20 friends would turn up, ended up selling out the venue with 110 people in 3 weeks with speakers from Gilt, MongoDB, Tumblr, Birchbox, Warby Parker, Amplify, Artsy, InfluxDB, Intent Media and more. Just finished running summits in San Francisco, Washington DC, a second New York summit and Boston. We have some great submissions for the summits, but I really want to make sure we got lots of great submissions as I’m new to Australia so I don’t have the network I have in most of the US cities. If you are an engineering leader and/or have practical experiences along with some great takeaways that CTOs, VP Engineering, team leads and other people who manage developers to deliver software could learn from, I’d love if you’d consider submitting to the CFP. The summit is for experienced CTO’s and engineering leaders. We’ve read the books and skimmed the blogs. We’re not looking for background, introductory material or the basics. We’re looking for hard won lessons from your experiences over the last 2-3 years. if you wouldn’t have been surprised by your own presentation two years ago it’s probably not advanced enough! There should also be actionable insights - something we can do with the information that you provide. Topics can be anything from highly technical to pure soft-skills. If it’s something a CTO or an engineering manager would be interested in, it’s probably a fit. We often have presentations covering process, culture, hiring and managing as well as architectural and technical topics. Anything technical should be platform agnostic. Pick something you’re passionate about. Life’s too short to tell uninteresting stories!

Email me at *pe...@pbell.com* if you have any questions about the conference or the CFP. Drop me a line if you think there’s anyone else we should be speaking to! Thanks!
