CTO FORUM Powered by Scaleway
Join us and top engineering leaders together!
Let's discuss today’s key scaling challenges.
More about the CTO Forum
The CTO Forum will gather on stage 40+ CTOs, VPs Engineering, open source maintainers & up-and-coming developer tools founders to discuss evolving technical, organization, and employee experience challenges.
Building & scaling a startup is an increasingly complicated endeavor, and engineering leadership is on the front lines for these major challenges. Technical, organization, and team member challenges are evolving.

Verticals - key topics:
The Era of Multi-Cloud is here
Almost every tool that your development team is using today to build, deploy & scale applications is multi-cloud or cloud agnostic by design – except your cloud infrastructure. Why are software companies increasingly choosing multi-cloud?
Managing & Retaining Top Talent
Hiring top development talent has always been a core challenge for engineering leaders; now top talent is increasingly choosing remote, freelance contracts & asynchronous work cultures. How do you manage & retain top talent in today’s workplace?
Building in & on Open Source
Great engineering teams depend on, contribute to, and often release open source software. For some it is a business model, or others a means of making an otherwise proprietary innovation accessible to all. How do engineering teams interact with open source?
Scaling… responsibly
Scalability is core to engineering’s mission – global redundancy, high availability, low latency – however, scaling at all costs is no longer an option. How are engineering leaders balancing the ambition of scalability with the increasing ask to keep costs under control, reduce our carbon footprint, and create a sustainable ecosystem?
The new Developer Experience
A company’s ability to provide an excellent experience to users & customers is limited by the ability of its development team to engineer that experience. With engineers who are remote, working asynchronously, on freelance contracts, how do you ensure an excellent developer experience for your team?
Build Vs Run
Engineering teams are pulled between a desire to build the future and the need to ensure that the present runs smoothly. No matter how great a new product or feature is, every customer notices when your product stops running. How do we set service level objectives, implement incident response processes, and enable site reliability engineers to carry burden of Build vs. Run?
Driving Research & Development
Real innovation takes time & money; startups rarely have as much headcount and budget as the incumbents they disrupt. How do great innovations come out of relatively small teams and how does engineering leadership enable or prevent this from happening?
Software has eaten the world. What’s next?
The last decade saw software innovation predominantly built on the back of cloud computing that unlocked disruption in every industry, superior customer experience and unprecedented access to customer data. What’s coming on the horizon that threatens to replace, surpass, or eliminate the cloud-based software ecosystem we’ve come to expect?
