18:35 – How to Speed Up a Development Team - Anton Zhukov, Engineering Manager at Manychat
When deadlines tighten and expectations keep rising, speeding up the team feels like the most obvious solution. I will show which points in the development process are usually used to accelerate teams and why they tend to deliver quick results.
19:00 - 400 Tech Leads. Same problems. None of them technical - Anemari Fiser - Tech Lead trainer
After training and coaching more than 400 tech leads across companies and industries, one pattern keeps repeating: when tech leads struggle, it’s rarely a technical gap. In this talk, Anemari Fiser shares the most common challenges tech leads bring into coaching sessions - overload, unclear expectations, ownership confusion - and assumed alignment and why “getting better technically” almost never fixes them. Drawing from real coaching and training examples, the talk explores where tech leads get stuck, what they think the problem is, and the small but meaningful shifts that help them move forward.
19:25 – Closing remarks
19:30 – Networking with Food & Drinks
21:00 – Close
