Event Description
To be a leader today, you need to master the new essentials—data-informed decision-making, design-first thinking, and rapid, iterative development—and to create a productive work environment for all (aka “people skills”). You need to build a company culture that’s fast, flat, and flexible. You need Cultivate.
Whether you’re a product manager, dev team leader, software engineer, designer, data scientist, or marketer—if you’re a manager, or aspire to be one, Cultivate is for you. In two high-energy days, you’ll learn how to level up as a manager. We’re building a program to prepare and equip the next generation of business leaders to create environments where all people, including those from underrepresented groups, can contribute freely.
Cultivate takes place July 20-21 at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland, OR and is co-located with the O'Reilly Open Source Convention.
