Looking back at Tech Rocks 2019

"How do we let tech leaders take their rightful place, how do we help them grow and make their companies scalable?"

Tech Rocks was born out of a conversation between tech leaders about the importance of finding spaces to exchange with peers in the field, and the lack of events dedicated to them.

Far more than a community, Tech Rocks is THE PLACE TO BE for tech leaders working on the heaviest technical projects out there. The 2019 edition brought together more than 600 tech experts, who came to share their work, their technical challenges, and their role in the teams they manage.

And this year, Bluecoders was there.

On December 4, our CTO, Grégoire Ballot, headed to 📍Station F for the third edition of Tech Rocks, alongside our founder, Christophe Hébert, and our tech recruiting coaches Cyrielle and Ambroise.

This day of high-caliber talks, given by experts in the field, was a chance to talk with CTOs and VPs of Engineering about current technical topics they're tackling on their projects, as well as management, team-building, and hiring questions. All of these key tech subjects, broken down by France's leading tech leaders, in a single day.

It also gave us a clear sense of the challenges these profiles face — technical and managerial — and a better grasp of the broader roles these experts play within their companies. (See the talk "The other roles of the CTO" by Philippe Vimard, CTO at Doctolib.)
