  your usual pattern\n\nWe're bringing together senior engineers\, engineer
 ing leaders\, and the people responsible for building and developing techn
 ical teams for an evening of honest conversation about one of the most pre
 ssing questions in tech right now: how do you benchmark and develop engine
 ers in a world where AI is changing the role faster than most organisation
 s can keep up?\nAI has changed what good engineering looks like. Most team
 s are still figuring out how to measure it\, develop for it\, and hire aro
 und it. This evening brings together practitioners and leaders from across
  the industry for honest talks\, real perspectives from people doing this 
 at scale\, and plenty of time to get into the weeds with others in the roo
 m working through the same challenges.\n📆 Thursday\, 20 August 2026🕕 6:00 
 – 9:00 PM📍 London (revealed soon!)🚨 Limited spaces available\nWho this eve
 nt is for:\n👉 CIOs\, VPs of Engineering and Heads of Technology who want a
  real\, data-backed view of their team's AI-readiness and want a real fram
 ework for measuring it👉 Senior engineers and tech leads who want to unders
 tand how engineering benchmarking works and what it means for their team's
  development👉 Engineering and talent leaders exploring how assessment and 
 structured training can accelerate AI adoption across their org\nKnow some
 one who'd get value from this? Refer them to this event! 🔗\nWhat you get w
