Cupán Tae Conf Series - Tickets

Coding Grace will be launching a series of virtual events as part of Cupán Tae Conf. Buy your tickets here!

🎉 Coding Grace just launched a series of virtual events as part of new programme called Cupán Tae Conf.

Hang on, but what is Cupán Tae Conf?

Cupán Tae (/kup-awn tay/), or a cup of tea in Irish. Cupán Tae is a brand new experience of events by Coding Grace beginning with a series of virtual events where industry professionals will hear renowned speakers impart their experiences with opportunities to network over a “cup of tea”.

Virtual events? Tell me more.

Cupán Tae will be taking place virtually.

Talks will be streamed to Coding Grace's Discord server (link will be shared with ticket holders).
Q&A and breakout sessions will take place on Coding Grace's Discord server.

Each virtual talk event

Guest speaker will give a talk for 1 hour.
Participants freely break up into groups for networking and discussions for 1 hour

The first series will consist of 3 x virtual speaking events

Talk 1: "Path Dependence: History Matters" with Laura Nolan on Tuesday, 26th March 2024 (13:00 - 15:00)

Talk 2 - Second System Effect - not a new problem by John Looney - Thursday, 4th April 2024 (13:00 - 15:00)

Talk 3: "Classic Vulnerabilities" with Patricia Aas on Tuesday, 7th May 2024 (18:00 - 20:00)

Some principles (taken from DDD Open Spaces) for breakout sessions in both events:

Whoever comes are the right people. A session with two people can be as valuable as a session with ten.
When it starts is the right time to start, and when it’s over, it’s over. And if it’s not over, make plans for continuing the conversation.
Whatever happens is the only thing that could've happened.
The Law of Two Feet: If you’re not getting value from a session, or not contributing value, feel free to go somewhere else. This way you can make the most of your time at the event.

Who's the target audience?

We're aiming at folks who have a couple of years of software engineering under their belt. They're actively thinking about how to improve the engineering across their team and organization. We're thinking principal engineers, systems architects, senior devs, team leads, staff engineers, heads of engineering.

☕️ Why tea?

Pizzas and beer have been a staple of tech events, and why not discuss tech over a cup of tea?

As we build our Cupán Tae community, we aim to have more in-person conferences with tea-tasting and afternoon tea along with the talks and unconference sessions.

As part of our series, we will definitely recommend tea so you can join us and our speakers with a nice cuppa tea.

Also where to buy tea? If you have a recommendation, let us know.
