#32: Sociotechnical design & Team Topologies Workshop

Hello DDDers,

We're almost ready for our next event! We had such a good time in the last one up North with our friends in Thessaloniki, that we decided to run a similar one with renewed energy for our community in Athens.

Kostas Stroggylos will do a short presentation on the sociotechnical aspects of building complex systems in today's fast moving environment, focusing on Team Topologies. After the introduction we will eventually split into small groups to get our hands dirty with a workshop. We will use our knowledge of Team Topologies and other techniques in order to think and discuss about the organizational structure and team collaboration patterns in a fictional but realistic scenario.

After the workshop, stick around for some networking with pizza and drinks, generously offered by our hosts. We also have some swag from DDD Europe to give away, so don't miss it! You also still have enough time to get a ticket for this year's DDD EU conference. All our meetup members can get a 10% discount by using this link for the main conference and Foundations, whereas you can get the same discount for attending a workshop using this one.
