Welcoming remarks from Leadership Summit Moderator, Jeffery Payne to kick the Summit off and discuss the days agenda.
Agile + DevOps Leadership Summit
FRIDAY, JUNE 11 | 10:00AM-4:00PM ET
Leadership has never been more important. Between having to lead remotely, deal with economic uncertainty, and navigate the COVID waters, the current environment is a challenge. Join in the conversation with your peers as experienced technology leaders share ways to lead and make organizations successful. Discover how seasoned leaders have grown their leadership skills and what they believe the keys are to becoming an exceptional leader.
At the 2021 Agile+DevOps Leadership Summit, program chair Jeffery Payne brings together senior industry leaders— Perry Riggs and Lee Eason — for an interactive exchange of ideas and experiences. Each of these leaders brings a unique perspective on leadership to the table and will provide Summit participants with lessons learned and practical techniques for leading teams, addressing management challenges, and gaining senior management buy-in.
Also, bring your biggest issues and challenges to the Agile+DevOps Leadership Summit, where you can draw on the knowledge and experiences of these leaders and your fellow leaders who may have already faced and solved some of your issues. You’ll hear what’s working—and not working—and have the opportunity to share your experiences and successes. The Agile+DevOps Leadership Summit is a perfect opportunity for you to:
- Participate in insightful and informative sessions focusing on leadership issues
- Meet and network with your peers in the industry
- Join in the “think tank” discussion with industry veterans
- Develop new ideas and action plans for innovation within your organization
Please be sure to add-on the complimentary Agile + DevOps Leadership Summit to your conference registration!
