Speaker for Plato's next Community Q&A

Problem or Description

Plato organizes bi-weekly community Q&A: webinar-like discussions between Plato's CEO and an experienced engineering leader. Each time, a specific topic is defined and the event starts with a quick 15min keynote by the speaker then switches to answering questions from the audience. We are looking for our next speakers for the upcoming 3 months!

Past speakers:

• Shadi Rostami - Senior/Executive VP of Engineering at Amplitude
• Eric Johnson - Advisor | Former CTO at GitLab
• Tamar Bercovici - VP of Engineering at Box
• Michael Manapat - Head of Engineering at Notion
• Kris Rasmussen - CTO at Figma
• Sagnik Nandy - President and Chief Development Officer at Okta
• Ian Nowland - SVP of Core Engineering at Datadog

Requirements to apply

• VPE level or above
• 100+ engineering team
• Known company brand is a plus
• Great credibility around the topic discussed

Timeline

We are looking to keep the bi-weekly cadence of speakers so we are looking for 2 speakers per month starting August 2023.

TIme Commitment:

Around 4-5 hours total, split as follows:

• 30min - First prep with Plato team to narrow down topic and key points. This must be done at least 3 weeks prior to event
• 2-3 hours: Solo work to prep collaterals and keynote main talking points
• ~1h: Day-of event

Application

Ideally suggest topics and main message. Feel free to share past speaking engagement links.
