Talk submissions for LDX3 London 2026
Ends on
Hello friends
After a sold-out 2025, LDX3 London returns in 2026 with even more to explore — three main stages, a Director+ track, demo stages, and a lively hallway track packed with workshops and activities.
About LDX3 2026 - June 2–3, 2026
LDX3 is designed for engineering leaders who want to improve how software gets delivered — from culture and collaboration to architecture and automation. We know that optimizing delivery is both a technical and social challenge, so whether you’re an Engineering Manager, Senior IC, Director, or more senior, this is the place to share your experience.
What topics are we interested in?
We’re looking for 25-minute-long practical case studies and stories that will help other engineering leaders learn, reflect, and grow. You might talk about:

- Managing and leading teams
- Hiring and retaining talent
- Culture diversity and inclusion
- Strategy, planning and future proofing
- Leadership skills
- Mentoring
Building for production: building systems to support high performance and delivery
- Monitoring, observability and understanding
- Reliability, quality, security
- Being a tech lead
- Incident management
- Structuring your team to work effectively
- Documentation
- Systems metrics and developer productivity
Technical choices: evolving your systems and innovating your architecture
- System design & untangling systems complexity
- Planning and technical roadmaps
- Architectures, microservices, platform engineering
- AI/LLMs
- Legacy and tech debt
- Data management
- Decision-making, trade-offs, benefits analysis
The speaker experience
Working with speakers to help your ideas shine onstage is one of our favourite things.
