Hear what past attendees have to say about LeadDev 🗣️
We love bringing our engineering community together to connect and learn from each other. Find out what they love about our events.
Hear speakers from some of the world's top organizations on one stage
We carefully select the best talks from hundreds of proposals without knowing who the speakers are. This means we choose from a diverse group of people, rather than just selecting well-known speakers.
This year we have looked for talks that can help you overcome the unprecedented challenges faced by the industry. You'll leave inspired with fresh ideas.
Single track format
You can expect to hear engaging talks from a high-quality line-up, so you won't want to miss a thing!
The track includes a variety of talk lengths, a mix of topics, and breaks to keep you focused and energised throughout the day. Just relax, mingle with your peers and soak up the ideas.
Connect with the community
Express your preference for meeting people with our traffic light badge system.
The networking mixer at the end of day one of the conference and the West Coast meet-up the night before the event are perfect places to connect with others on the same career path and grow your professional network.
Chat with our speakers in office hours
Every speaker is available after their talk for "office hours" - a chance for you to connect, ask questions and find out more.
Discover the latest tools and tech
With a number of friendly sponsors at the event showcasing innovative products and solutions, there's plenty of opportunity to continue your learning outside of the theatre... or just grab the swag!
Do you manage managers?
LeadingEng West Coast is a conference for Directors, VPs, Heads and CTOs happening the day after LeadDev. You can add it to your LeadDev ticket and get a 28% discount.
An inclusive conference for everyone
Creating an inclusive environment has been a priority for LeadDev since our first event in 2015. Here's some of what's available to make it an event that everyone can enjoy:
- Live captioning of all talks
- Prayer room
- Nursing room
- Quiet spaces
- Pronoun badge stickers
- Lanyards for those not wishing to be photographed
- Gender neutral and accessible bathrooms
- A code of conduct that we take seriously
Please talk to us about your specific needs and we'll make sure they're met.
On-demand talk videos
Every ticket includes exclusive access to the on-demand talk recordings for six months before they're made public.
Digital swag
As well as plenty of swag at the sponsor stands, you can enter competitions to win prizes from most of our sponsors in our digital swag bag. Keep an eye on your emails once you've registered.
Sponsor perks
Past conferences have included meetups, a games lounge, coffee bar, waffle station, massage lounge and much more courtesy of our sponsors.
Lunch & refreshments
Light breakfast refreshments and lunch is provided. There will also be tea, coffee and snacks available throughout the day. We can cater for special dietary requirements, so if you have any allergies or other requirements (e.g. kosher), just let us know.
