A community of 800+ engineering and product leaders who care about people

A diverse, equitable space for professionals to learn about leadership, technology, and building empowered teams.

Our vision

Make the tech industry more welcoming and equitable.

We’re bringing together a diverse group of tech leaders from around the world so they can grow and learn from each other, better support people on their teams, and inspire the next generation of leaders.

Who it’s for

This community is for engineering and product leaders who care about people and want to grow and learn together.

We're also open to  aspiring engineering and product leaders, as well as people who work closely with these leaders and care deeply about diversity, equity, and inclusion.

All attendees, speakers, volunteers, and organizers at any of our events are required to follow our Code of Conduct. Organizers will enforce this code.
