Engineering Leadership Events in Barcelona
Events for engineering managers, CTOs, product leaders, and the people running technical teams sit in their own category. There's enough specific content for senior-plus practitioners that putting it under "software engineering" would bury it. This page tracks conferences and meetups aimed at the people leading the work rather than doing it directly.
This page narrows the Barcelona calendar to Engineering Leadership events. It's a subset of Spain's wider tech-event schedule, useful when you want something specific to go to in the city this month.
Barcelona runs Spain's largest tech-event calendar. Software engineering meetups are particularly deep: Python, JavaScript, and the various mobile communities (iOS, Android, cross-platform) all sustain strong monthly rhythms. The product-management and design scenes are active alongside, partly fueled by the concentration of international scaleups and remote teams in the city.
