Event Agenda

A peer-to-peer support meetup for engineering managers. No slides, no formal talks — just honest conversation about the real-world struggles of engineering leadership, and the tools that help us navigate them.

6:30 PM - 6:45 PM

Welcome

Doors open, check-in, and intro to the format for the evening.

6:45 PM - 7:15 PM

Part 1 — The Struggle

In small groups (~6 people), we share what we're currently struggling with as engineering managers. Context switching, too many meetings, team dynamics, imposter syndrome — whatever is on your mind right now.

7:15 PM - 8:00 PM

Part 2 — The Toolkit

Same groups, new lens. We pivot from problems to solutions: tools, frameworks, scripts, conversations — whatever has helped you navigate these waters.

8:00 PM - 8:30 PM

Closing, Pizza & Beer

Each group shares takeaways across the room, followed by pizza, beer, and informal networking.
