CFP Description
Call For Presentations - TechLead Conference 2026: Adopting AI as hands-on Engineering Leaders
This edition is focused on one theme that’s defining the conversation right now: how technical leaders are driving AI adoption in their organisations — the hard decisions, structural shifts, and cultural changes, not the hype.
We’re looking for talks on (but not limited to):
Restructuring engineering teams around AI-native workflows Managing the productivity gap when AI lifts some engineers but not others AI agents in production: what changes for on-call, reliability, and ownership Hiring and talent strategy when AI is redefining what “good engineering” looks like Upskilling and reskilling at scale — what actually works Measuring real AI impact beyond velocity metrics Governance, risk, and ethical guardrails engineering leaders actually use Cross-functional alignment: getting product, legal, and leadership on the same page
The talks will be pre-recorded and followed by Q&A. Feel free to submit multiple talk proposals if you have a few ideas to share!
