About this Event
Leaders Live returns with a deeper dive into one of the biggest challenges facing modern tech teams: uniting product and engineering for real impact.
🤝 Inara Talent x RiskSmart
📍 Disney Streaming, No.2, Circle Square, 1 Symphony Park, Manchester M1 7FS
đź“… Thursday 12th March
đź• Doors open 5:30pm | Intros / Live Q&A from 6:00pm | Finish 8:30pm
Towards the end of last year, we joined forces with our partners for this event series RiskSmart, and brought together some of Manchester’s top technology leaders for a roundtable exploring how product and engineering teams can work closer together to deliver higher-value outcomes. The conversation was honest, practical, and packed with insight, from team structures and ways of working to trust, ownership, and alignment around customer value.
For this session, we’ve invited a number of those leaders back for a live Q&A panel. We’ll go deeper into the themes that sparked the most debate, unpack what’s actually working inside Manchester-based organisations, and pull out practical learnings you can take back to your own teams. Expect real stories, hard-won lessons, and open discussion rather than theory.
Leaders Live sits within Leaders Lab, a space for both senior and aspiring leaders across the UK tech industry to try, test, and prove their thinking while learning alongside others facing similar challenges. It’s a safe, inclusive environment where leadership conversations are open and honest, and where voices from early career through to C-suite are welcomed and valued.
Run the Inara way, our events are built around curiosity, honesty, and human connection. This is a place to learn, to challenge assumptions, and to leave feeling better equipped to support your teams, your business, and yourself.
If you care about building stronger product and engineering partnerships and delivering meaningful value for customers and users, this one’s for you.
