What if your internal platforms could drive business innovation?

What if your internal platforms could drive business innovation, not just technical enablement? Join us to unpack ‘Platform Engineering Done Well’, based on ideas redefining the role of product and engineering teams across industries.

We're lucky to have Matthew Skelton, co-author of Team Topologies visiting New Zealand! In this talk he will explore how platform engineering can become a force multiplier—not just through cloud, data, or AI tooling but also by shaping more innovative ways of working, reducing cognitive load, and amplifying innovation across the organisation.

This isn’t just for platform teams - this meetup is for you if you are a:

• Product Manager trying to scale smarter,
• Engineer seeking higher leverage in your work,
• Tech Lead or Manager navigating cross-team dependencies,
• Or simply curious about the next wave of organisational design and operating models...

You’ll hear how teams use product thinking, fast flow principles, and techniques like knowledge diffusion to unlock meaningful, sustainable change. And you’ll walk away with actionable insights—whether you're just discovering Team Topologies or already embedding it into your org.

We're running this event in partnership with the Auckland Product and Software Leaders group (APSLG) - please RSVP on either this meetup event page or the APSLG page but not both!

Huge thanks to Hypr for making this event possible by bringing Matthew to NZ and sponsoring the food and drinks, Auror for hosting and Daniel Walters for pulling this all together.

Note that the livestream for this event will kick off from just before 6pm.
