What we're about

A space for engineering leaders to connect, share experiences and support each other — no sales pitches, no vendor decks.

💬

Honest conversations

Talk candidly about the challenges of engineering leadership with peers who understand — hiring, culture, technical debt, stakeholder management.

🧠

Shared learning

Learn from peers who've navigated the same problems. Talks, workshops and roundtables on topics that actually matter to leaders in the room.

🌊

Brighton-rooted

Celebrate and strengthen Brighton's vibrant tech scene. Build lasting relationships with the people driving technology in our city.

🔓

Always free

No membership fees, no paywalls. Brighton CTO is a community-run group — just show up, contribute and benefit from the collective expertise.
