INTERACT: The most progressive, diverse conference for engineering leaders

The popular community-driven engineering leadership conference returns on April 7th

SEATTLE, March 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- INTERACT, the community-driven conference for engineering leaders, is back for its second year. Featuring more than 50% female and minority speakers, INTERACT, hosted by LinearB, highlights some of the biggest names in engineering leadership, with speakers from Netflix, Slack, Stack Overflow, American Express, and more on April 7, 2022.

INTERACT's free half-day virtual conference will host more than 1,500 engineering leaders from 75 different countries, features prominent influencers in software engineering, and has committed to accessibility measures including live captioning.

"There's so much value packed into this conference with so many incredible speakers, you do not want to miss it," said Tiffany Janzen, a.k.a. TiffinTech, in a recent YouTube video shared to over 500,000 developers who follow her across platforms. Masha Zvereva, founder of Stereotype Breakers, echoed Tiff's sentiment in a recent post on Instagram, "Do you want to become a CTO? Sign up for INTERACT."

It's not just tech influencers who've taken notice - "The secret sauce of INTERACT, from my perspective, was just the people around it, both the organizers and participants," said Nimrod Kramer, Co-Founder of Daily.Dev. "The members have done a great job in curating really interesting talks and speakers."

Featured sessions include the CTO of Drata, one of the fastest companies ever to reach unicorn status, sharing two of his biggest "screw-ups" as an engineering leader and some of tech's upcoming rockstars like American Express VP of Technology Sarvenaz Myslicki, for a live taping of the Dev Interrupted podcast which garners 2000+ downloads a week and boasts a Discord community of 2100+ engineering leaders.

Co-Founder & CEO of LinearB, Ori Keren has worked to make sure INTERACT is a force for inclusion and diversity in the industry.  "I wish I had a community of progressive engineering leaders I could've tapped into when I was a VP of Engineering. I'm proud INTERACT is giving a voice to the new faces of engineering leadership worldwide."
