CTO Craft Con: Toronto brings together senior technology and engineering leaders from across North America for two days of practical conversations on scaling teams, navigating change, and making stronger technical and organisational decisions. Following a sold-out first Toronto edition in 2025, the event returns in 2026 with a focus on real leadership challenges, practical strategies, and peer relationships that extend well beyond the conference itself. This is not a conference built around sales pitches or surface-level thought leadership. The emphasis is on actionable insight, operator-to-operator conversations, and curated networking with people who understand the realities of leading modern engineering organisations.
Leadership, Strategy & Business: Vision-setting, strategic alignment, and leading organisations through growth and change.
Culture, People & Teams: Psychological safety, hiring, organisational design, and building high-performing teams.
Technology, Operations & Projects: Architecture, DevOps, infrastructure, security, reliability, and software delivery execution.
Stress, Wellbeing & Personal Development: Sustainable leadership, resilience, and practical ways to manage the demands of senior technical roles.
The event is designed for CTOs, VPs and Heads of Engineering, Technical Directors, Senior Engineering Managers, founders, startup leaders, and future technology leaders preparing for broader leadership scope. The experience also includes networking formats beyond the main stage, including themed coffee conversations, a Women in Tech breakfast, and structured ways to help attendees connect more intentionally.
Join us for two days of pragmatic talks, hands-on sessions, and curated networking designed specifically for financial services.
