“I’m with my tribe here”

The Lead Developer was designed with the needs and pain points of technical team leads in mind. We programme each conference around our three key themes of  Team, Tech & Tools. The talks are designed to help very practically with common problems in these areas.

In our four years we’ve covered everything from leadership to recruitment, team dynamics to imposter syndrome. Our technical talks are designed to keep tech leads current – anything from new languages, frameworks and technologies to case studies dealing with common issues such a rapid scaling. We look at tools and processes and ways of working. Finally, we’re thinking about the personal development of a team lead and how to continue to grow the key skills needed by an effective and inspirational Lead Dev.

What we love about running The Lead Developer is the feeling of community. In our audience, we find a total diversity of background, technologies and industries, but a common set of issues.
