What does effective tech leadership really look like in 2026 and beyond?

Join us for an exclusive event exploring one of the most important questions facing technology organisations today: What does effective tech leadership really look like in 2026 and beyond? 

Our latest Tech Talent & Salary research highlights a clear shift. While communication and team culture remain critical, deep technical understanding is rising sharply as a leadership necessity, with almost half of technologists now ranking it among the most important capabilities.

At the same time:

  • Over half cite a lack of clear strategy as a barrier to success
  • And many feel leadership understanding of technology is still not strong enough
As AI accelerates change across organisations, the role of the technology leader is evolving fast — not just in what they manage, but in how they lead. Join us for an evening of discussion led by our Tech Evangelist David Savage and expert panel, as we explore what this means in practice.
