Designed specifically for senior-most enterprise applications and software engineering (SWE) leaders, the Senior Leadership Circle Program is a curated executive experience. It delivers presentations, discussions and networking opportunities for eligible senior leaders addressing their top priorities alongside a vetted group of peers. We will be exploring AI’s impact on technology leadership through world-class speakers, focused workshops and exclusive content.
The Senior Leadership Circle Program
This experience includes:
Networking and knowledge-sharing opportunities with a group of applications and SWE leaders to build relationships, learn from peers with relevant experience and challenges and expand your executive peer community.
Access to exclusive sessions throughout the conference, including guest keynote lunches, leadership exchanges, and roundtables tailored to the most important topics for applications and SWE leaders.
Priority booking capabilities for limited-capacity sessions and One-on-One Meeting(s) with a Gartner expert to ensure you don’t miss out on these conference offerings.
Applications and SWE Leader-only sessions
Integrated within the broader conference agenda, the Senior Leadership Circle Program includes interactive discussions covering the top priorities of application and SWE leaders, as well as casual networking opportunities to connect with other application executives from a variety of regions and industries.
