The morning will be dedicated to discussions between RSE team leaders to share approaches to issues related to RSE teams. The afternoon will be an opportunity for aspiring and future leaders to hear from current RSE leaders, join the discussion, and collaborate on some of the challenges faced by RSEs. We will be joined by Kate Jennings who will facilitate a workshop on Increasing Influence and Impact for RSE Leaders and Aspiring Leaders and Martin Callaghan who will facilitate a workshop on how AI will impact our skills, competencies and team structures.
