## 🗓 Talks Schedule

🕕 17:30 – Doors open

🎙 18:00 – Talk 1
Christian Galatolo, Engineering Director @ Outreach
How Senior Engineering Managers Scale Without Burning Out
Early in my management career, I unknowingly relied on principles to build a successful new business unit. Years later, with more experience and higher stakes, I learned which principles truly scale and which mistakes quietly turn managers into bottlenecks. This talk shares those lessons, grounded in real successes, real failures, and real pressure.

🎙 18:40 – Talk 2
Michael Ruml, Director of Product Engineering @ Mews
From Surviving to Scaling: Lessons from the First Year of Engineering Management
The transition from engineer to manager is one of the toughest shifts in tech. In this talk, Michael reflects on his first year as an Engineering Manager, unpacking the common traps, hard lessons, and mindset changes that make the difference between burnout and growth. A must-see for anyone navigating—or considering—the move into leadership.

🍺 19:30 – Networking
After the talks, stick around for networking, discussions, and getting to know fellow engineers and leaders. Outreach will provide delicious snacks and drinks, so you definitely won’t go hungry😉

We’re really looking forward to seeing you there! 🚀
