Keynote: Building Teams Through Systems Thinking and Stories

Join Scott Hanselman for an upbeat discussion about what's beyond mentorship.

Microsoft

What's the difference between mentorship and sponsorship and how does that build successful teams? What's the role of the senior engineer as a colleague to an early-in-career engineer? What's the difference between learning how to code and learning how to think about systems? What must we do to welcome the next generation of creators, and what are your responsibilities?

Let's facilitate a welcoming culture of learning and exploration and normalize not knowing the answer!
