CTO Gathering is a series of events for CTOs, VP. Engineering, Lead Architects, or Tech Leads that are interested in improving their skills and learning from each other. We welcome senior technical people to discuss their issues, meet each other, and share expertise.
The focus is both on people who are already in CTO / VP Eng roles and people who are on their way there.
As in Minsk there are no events for senior technical people to meet, the goal is to have one to discuss the issues, weather the issues related to management, process or technology.
Organizer, inspirer and the host of our series of events is Aliaksandr Astapenka, CEO and Founder at Caspowa.ru and the author of CTOcast - podcast about the technology, processes and people from IT-companies.
We’ll meet once in a month and will have a guest speaker on relevant topics, from general topics to technology areas.
Also we’ll include different kind of formats in our meet ups such as talks, panels and lightning talks.
