​We’re thrilled to announce the latest Leaders in Tech event: Influence without authority: The power of Tech Leadership, hosted at the Google office in Bucharest.

​🎯 Event Theme

​Romania has world-class technical talent and top delivery skills, but we’re still building the culture of driving ideas from concept to full adoption. That’s where influence without authority becomes a game-changer: earning trust, creating clarity, and driving people toward a shared goal, even when you’re not “the boss.”
