Is Engineering Management your next move? There’s a common myth that Engineering Management is only for developers. 
The truth? Some of the best EMs come from testing, quality and non-traditional backgrounds. Your existing skills are more relevant than you think, you just need the right map to navigate the transition.

We are incredibly excited to announce a massive collaborative workshop at MoTaCon, led by the expert trio Drew Pontikis, Neil Younger and Parveen Khan!

This hands-on workshop is designed to help you find the specific flavour of management that fits you.

What you’ll learn
  •  How to work out whether Engineering Management is a career pathway you want to follow
  •  How to find, embrace and build on your identity as an Engineering Manager

Whether you’re preparing for a promotion or simply curious about what lies beyond the individual contributor track, this workshop provides the clarity and tools you need to step up with confidence.
