Tech Leaders Forum 2024 - Edinburgh

Leading through change can be a double-edged sword - juggling the commercial and financial expectations with the need to invest in people and culture.

While formal change processes might be well understood, too many leaders neglect the all-important human side of change, and this is seen more than ever in the current aftermath of 2020.

We’re hosting an evening of conversation where along with other key tech leaders, we'll share our personal experiences of the reality of trying to be a leader during a period of change. We want to create an engaging conversation about the lessons learned, the pitfalls along the way and for many, the work still to undertake.

Who should attend?

Our speakers will be reflecting upon their journey in tech but individuals from other sectors are welcome to join as the key takeaways can be applied across any working environment.

This event is curated for those already in leadership roles, as well as any individual striving for leadership within their future career path (this can mean you are just starting out and leadership is aspirational, or you see it within your immediate/near future).
