Hello, hello, hello, welcome to the week!
Exclusively for TMW readers - get $200 off CTO Craft Con: Toronto tickets
We know calendars are packed, budgets areā¦ āunder review,ā and our Toronto gathering is suddenly very close - but if CTO Craft Con has been on your radar, this might be the nudge you needed. For a limited time, weāre taking $200 off tickets for TMW readers to help make the decision a little easier. Itās all happening very soon, and the room is shaping up to be something special: CTOs, VPs of Engineering, and senior tech leaders swapping the real stories behind scaling teams, handling the messy bits of leadership, and figuring out what actually works. If you could use a couple of days with people who genuinely get it, weād love to see you there.
To make use of your $200 discount, just use the discount code "TMW" in the checkout - it's only valid until May 4th, so get in quick!
This Wednesday, I'll be sitting down with Janne Kalliola to discuss a subject that's becoming harder to ignore as technology leaders in Europe: Data Sovereignty. As unsexy as it sounds, there's a deeper story to be found here around the how quickly full control of data and compute is becoming a competitive advantage, and how regulatory changes in the EU are affecting sensitivity to this around the world.
I'm really looking forward to our chat - I hope you can join us too. There'll be space for Q&A as well, so if you'd like to get the inside scoop, make sure you're there.
That's it, let's look at some links....
