About this Event
I am delighted to share details for the next Software Engineering Leadership @ WRK event & Social - it's happening in Leeds during UK Tech Week on Thursday 19th March.
Macs Dickinson, Director of Engineering at LHV Bank, will be facilitating the session "Leading through the noise: Making AI stick in engineering teams"
AI is evolving faster than engineering organisations can comfortably track, leaving leaders to cut through constant noise and hype.
This talk focuses on how engineering leaders can drive real AI adoption through culture, experimentation and clear decision-making, turning rapid change into sustained team impact rather than fragmented tool use.
The Meet Up & Social
This isn’t another boring networking event. Our meet-ups are all about:
- Fun, social, and interactive vibes (no endless slide decks, we promise)
- A safe space to talk about what’s really challenging you at work
- Meeting peers outside of your own company (hello, fresh perspectives!)
- Personal growth — want to host or present? We’d love to see you take the mic.
Whether you want to learn, share, vent, or just grab a drink with people who “get it,” this community is for you. Come for the conversations, stay for the connections.
This event is perfect for anyone passionate about technology leadership, AI and delivering tech that truly creates business value.
Whether you’re currently in a leadership role or simply curious about the evolving landscape of technology leadership, you’re warmly invited to join the discussion.
