Following the success of last year’s gathering, we are bringing the London CTOs community back together for another relaxed evening of conversation and good company.
Upcoming Events
What we'll tackle this week?
Working in tech we face a myriad of problems every day. From technical problems to team problems and business problems. Software Development is a diverse industry with endless options available to tackle the challenges we face.
This week we will place a particular focus on how engineers can grow into leadership roles, and how to set yourself up for leadership opportunities both now and in the future.
As Software Craftspeople we believe in the power of the community to help motivate meaningful change in the industry as a whole. This session aims to leverage the communities' collective knowledge and use it to help other solves the issues they face in the industry.
We invite individuals to come along and present their problems (not their solutions!) to the group so that we might attempt to offer potential solutions based upon our collective experiences. No need for slide-shows or data sets! We want to converse and chat about the issues we face. This is not a trial or a lecture! It is about having real people with real issues find resolutions.
Come one, come all and benefit from those around you and if you just fancy coming along to listen, well at least there will be pizza and drinks as usual!

Codurance has expanded to an office in Leeds and we are enjoying getting to know and support the community. Software Crafters Leeds offers a safe, fun space for the Leeds Development community to meet.
What's the format?
After a short intro, we'll get into groups/pairs or work solo - whatever people feel most comfortable with - and start building. We usually work through a kata (sometimes from this website), but we're open to suggestions, if there's something specific you'd like to cover, please let us know.
You choose how you want to work and what language you want to code in - this could be a language you are familiar with or new to. So far we have seen Python, Javascript, C#, Java, VB, Rust and Elixir. This session is about collaborating with others, becoming a better developer and building your network, in a fun, relaxed environment.
Throughout we will be sharing ideas, discussing best practices and using this as an opportunity to learn from our fellow coders. There's no need to be a professional developer - if you're interested, come along.
Food and drinks will be provided, with vegetarian and vegan options available. All you need to do is bring a machine if you'd like to code along.

London Tech Leaders Engineering Summit
A one day event for industry experts across Data, AI, Software, DevOps, Cloud and Security divisions.
In today’s investment landscape, technology is a direct driver of value creation and commercial performance, yet it remains one of the greatest sources of risk to long-term success.
Join Codurance, in partnership with pro-manchester, for a commercially focused breakfast briefing exploring how leveraging modern technology is crucial to creating measurable value, maximising business growth and boosting investor confidence.
Drawing on real-world experience with high-growth and investor-backed organisations, our speakers will explore:
- How technical due diligence is shaping valuation as investors place greater emphasis on resilience, scalability, technology maturity and risk exposure.
- Why the first 100 days post-investment are critical for identifying commercial priorities, unlocking efficiencies, stabilising operations and building investor confidence.
- How strengthening operational efficiency, reducing key-person dependence and accelerating go-to-market can create a more scalable and revenue-ready organisation.
- How stronger technology foundations improve decision-making, enhance data quality and create the conditions for innovation, including AI, when the commercial case is right.
This session is ideal for business leaders, technology leaders, operating partners and portfolio teams who want a clear, practical understanding of how modernisation directly drives growth, reduces risk and increases enterprise value.
