Engineering Leadership Events in Zurich
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 Zurich calendar to Engineering Leadership events. It's a subset of Switzerland's wider tech-event schedule, useful when you want something specific to go to in the city this month.
Zurich sustains one of the most research-dense tech-event calendars in Europe, anchored by ETH Zurich and the broader Swiss research ecosystem. ML-research, systems, and programming-languages communities are particularly strong. This is one of the places in Europe where compiler, distributed-systems, and cryptography research still has a community event presence in the form of guild nights, reading groups, and visiting-speaker series.

Low-stress hiking, great networking. Bring your family, kids, or friends!
📅 Saturday, July 18, 2026 | 📍 Uetliberg Station
Hey everyone! 🚀
It’s time to step away from our screens, stretch our legs, and connect offline. We’re hosting a casual community hike up Uetliberg on Saturday, July 18th.
Whether you want to talk product strategy, share your latest roadmapping headaches, or just enjoy the fresh air and panoramic views of Zürich, we’d love to have you.
👨👩👧👦 Family, Kids & Friends Welcome!
This is a relaxed, social gathering—not a rigid networking event. The main paths on Uetliberg are wide, well-maintained, and completely kid-friendly (stroller-accessible options are fully available). Feel free to bring your partner, friends, or little future product managers along for the day.
⏱️ Agenda
10:35 AM | Meet at Uetliberg Station (take S10 from Selnau due to work in progress at HB!)
about 2h | Gentle 5.5 km scenic walk (Planetenweg) along the ridge to enjoy the views over the lake and city.
12:30 PM | Lunch at Restaurant Felsenegg
📍 How to get there: Currently, there is work in progress at Zürich HB SZU station, so you need to catch the S10 at Selnau at 10:16 a.m. if you are coming via HB. https://utokulm.ch/uto-kulm/documents/de/NEU_Unterbruch%20UTO%20KULM_Anreise_Flussdiagramm_DE.pdf

19:30 - 20:30 - Networking, Open Space & More drinks*
How We Build a Multi-AZ Cloud in Switzerland
As a cloud provider, we spent significant time finding a solution to build a multi-AZ IaaS offering. Our goals were to find the best orchestrator, a very high availability system, and a fully secure setup for our customers. We will talk about our journey through different solutions and how we ended up with an Open-Source based stack, with Kubernetes at the core of our IaaS to deliver high availability, security, and resilience.

Embedding Quality Process in Agile Product Delivery
Quality is said to be built in when using agile delivery approaches, thanks to early and ongoing testing without the formal techniques used in traditional approaches. In interlinked projects, however, applying dedicated quality management processes and techniques helps teams consistently deliver fit-for-purpose agile products. Implementing these techniques has defined a new direction in multiple agile projects. In this session, you will learn how to define quality process techniques within an agile framework, and how to apply them across multiple projects, including scrum-of-scrum setups.
