London CTOs Unconference - 2025 and 2026
Join us for the London CTOs Unconference, a candid, collaborative evening for senior tech leaders reflecting on the year that's been and the one ahead.
The theme, "2025, 2026," invites us to pause and take stock:
What did 2025 teach us about leading through change, hype, and shifting priorities?
What lessons, practices, and pitfalls will shape how we build, scale, and lead in 2026?
This unconference is for CTOs and senior engineering leaders ready to compare notes on what's worked, what hasn't, and what's next for modern tech leadership.
How it works
No keynotes. No panels. No spectators.
A room full of experienced leaders setting the agenda together, crowdsourcing topics, leading conversations, and diving into what actually matters to you.
Suggest a topic, join a session, or just listen in. It's your space to explore the questions that matter most to you and your peers.
What to expect
Crowd-sourced agenda: Every discussion comes from the room.
Interactive sessions: Lead or join open, practical conversations.
Real stories: Honest insights, lessons learned, and shared challenges, no filters, no sales pitches.
Likely session themes
2025 in review: What surprised, shifted, or broke, and what we learned
Forecasting 2026: What tech trends, tools, and org shifts are likely to define the year ahead
Adapting leadership: Balancing stability with change as expectations and technologies evolve
The next wave of AI, cloud, and team dynamics: What will really matter, and what's just noise
Building resilience: Leading teams through another cycle of acceleration and uncertainty
