In tech, we spend so much time working on our products that we often forget to really spend time on our own careers.

Where does that leave us? In our next performance review, job interview or career conversation with a blank page and bad answers — unable to advocate for ourselves. We've not designed our careers. Oops.

Career Design (or career hacking) is the theme of this event. You'll get to hear from and meet career experts and senior engineers, designers and product folks who have thought hard about how to actively work on your career and make sure you get the most out of it.

We'll also have a live headshot photo shoot so you can get your very own wired-style headshot to slap on your LinkedIn and impress your future employers (and in-laws).

 to use. We believe the whole social contract at work is broken. Current methods of managing teams (ahem, performance reviews) actively push people away. We're focused on careers — it's incredibly hard for managers to support career growth and (we believe) very important for the people in teams to work on.

Over the last couple of years we've talked to hundreds of employees and managers and thousands of teams are using our progression framework-building product. 

We're about to launch something huge for tech professionals everywhere and are looking to meet you to learn more about how people are thinking about their careers.

The world of tech has changed. As tech companies of all sizes lay off employees and the UK and US heads into recession, suddenly navigating a career for yourself, or supporting career growth on your team, looks very different.

As a manager, how do you keep people excited and motivated in this environment? As an employee, how do you keep growing and ensure you're still being recognised with fewer options available?

Bringing both scaling a fast-growing engineering team knowledge and also all the insight from a company at the heart of this challenge, Billy is truly a double threat. Expect benchmark stats and insights into beliefs and culture.

Grace has been a huge champion for driving career growth at work through her work at Cleo AI and now Zeroheight. She's living proof that 'people people' can be insanely impactful in driving individual career growth and hiring brands. Expect interesting insights from rolling our career growth org-wide.
