Engineering Leadership Events in Lisbon
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 Lisbon calendar to Engineering Leadership events. It's a subset of Portugal's wider tech-event schedule, useful when you want something specific to go to in the city this month.
Lisbon's tech-event calendar has grown fast. Web Summit each November anchors the year and pulls an enormous international founder-and-investor crowd into the city. In between, there's a dense week-by-week rhythm of meetups covering AI-applied, software engineering, product, design, and the startup ecosystem that continues to expand with remote-first teams relocating here.

Making Better Bets: Turning Product Strategy into Action with Andrew Skotzko
📅 Thursday, 12 November 2026 | 🕡 18:30 | 📍 SIXT, Lisbon
What does it actually mean to be more strategic as a product manager?
We've all heard that we need to think more strategically. But when you're juggling customer needs, business goals, stakeholder opinions, and a constantly changing roadmap, turning that advice into action isn't always straightforward.
For our next ProductTank Lisbon meetup, we're welcoming Andrew Skotzko, product leadership coach, strategy advisor, and author of The Strategy Cycle: A Field Guide to Leading Product Strategy by Making Better Bets.
Andrew is joining us as part of his European book tour to share a practical approach to product strategy. We'll explore how to make better strategic choices, turn them into a clear set of bets, and keep your strategy relevant as you learn and circumstances change.
What you'll learn:
- How to identify the most important challenges and make clearer strategic choices.
- How to turn your strategy into a portfolio of bets rather than just another roadmap.
- How to keep your strategy alive beyond the planning process and adapt it as you learn.
We'll have plenty of time for Q&A, so bring your questions and real-world strategy challenges.
And, as always, there will be time to catch up with Lisbon's product community over food and drinks, kindly provided by our hosts at SIXT.
📅 Agenda
18:30 | Doors open, networking, food & drinks
19:00 | Welcome from ProductTank Lisbon and SIXT
