I have learned so much from facilitating the CTO Meetups where people leading on the development of technology share and learn from their peers. The final panel builds on this with experienced CTOs Anna Dick and Jono Jones sharing what it is like to be a CTO. I imagine the CTOs in the audience will be nodding with understanding and non-tech leaders will gain a valuable insight into how to work more effectively with the tech team.?
