Internal Tech Conferences : Accelerate Multi-team Learning

Internal tech conferences can make a significant impact on an organisation's level of sharing, learning, and communication by accelerating multi-team learning across technology departments. The pace of change in IT means that cross-department learning is essential, and many organisations have found that an internal tech conference is an excellent way to achieve this.

This book provides practical advice on how to prepare, run and follow-up on an internal tech conference, together with case studies from several organisations showing the approaches in common and the adaptations for each situation.

This book is for people involved in technology leadership in some form: people in "official" positions of leadership (CIO, CTO, Head of Engineering, IT Operations Manager, etc.) and those in more informal technology leadership positions, such as team leaders, senior engineers, and people who simply like to lead by example.
