Datamellon × Ignite London CTO Hangout
Ignite London and Datamellon are excited to collaborate at the monthly founders meetup at Ignite London. This time we're turning the focus to the CTO side - the builders and lead engineers working days and nights behind the scenes.
Now more than ever, tech leaders need to understand business outcomes and deliver software that is scalable, secure and trusted. So this evening is about the real challenges CTOs are facing - and about what's keeping you up at night.
The best conversations about what comes next aren't happening on stage - they're happening around the table. The Datamellon CTO Hangout: London brings together CTOs, engineering leaders, technical founders and technology executives for an evening of candid conversations, practical insights and meaningful connections.
