💬 What we’ll discuss

How IT keeps up with a company that doubles every few months. What breaks first, and what they fixed before it broke.

Why they hire engineers, not helpdesk staff. Finding people who focus on building and connecting systems.

How one team in one city supports employees in 40+ countries. Time zones, coverage, and no local IT staff.

What to build, what to buy, and what to outsource. Automations, identity and access, support: where they draw the line.

How to keep security tight when AI tools and agents enter the stack every week.

🚫 No sales pitches, no slides. Just knowledge exchange with fellow IT folks.

👥 For Heads of IT, IT managers, and IT and security engineers. Feel free to bring someone from your team (they just need to register).

🍸 Drinks and food are on us.
