You’ll learn directly from industry experts tackling critical topics on leadership, career, personal growth, eng challenges & industry trends through different speaking sessions. The ELC Summit isn’t to review technical topics that you think about every day at the office but to surface and address the team and professional development questions you never get to ask at work, in a safe environment of vetted peers and experienced engineering leaders.
You’ll build relationships with & gain outside perspectives from eng leaders across the world through curated small group discussions, pressure test different approaches during community roundtables, and create a support network with opportunities for 1:1 matching!
A few of this year’s speakers include:

This session with Nidhi Gupta and Kenji Kiuchi will discuss how to build more inclusive hiring practices. They’ll share ideas on where to start, how to gain buy-in at the executive-level, and how to measure success. Plus simple ways to increase your candidate pool AND de-bias your hiring process, interview modules, and coding interview (especially when you’re resource constrained and your recruiting team also happens to be your engineering team…).
Broken data is costly, time-consuming, and nowadays, an all-too-common reality for even the most advanced data teams. In this talk, Barr will introduce this problem, called “data downtime” — periods of time when data is partial, erroneous, missing or otherwise inaccurate — and discuss how to eliminate it in your data ecosystem with end-to-end data observability.
Drawing corollaries to application observability in software engineering, data observability is a critical component of the modern DataOps workflow and the key to ensuring data trust at scale. Barr will share why data observability matters when it comes to building a better data quality strategy and highlight tactics you can use to address it today.
