Workshops and discussion groups will cover the ins and outs of reliability engineering, how to build and evolve your sales organization, implementing inclusion practices into your onboarding and offboarding practices, managing through cash constraints and pivots, growing your data engineering function in a scalable way, best practices for measuring people analytics for the whole employee lifecycle, and much more.
