DevRel Alchemy: Lessons from Crafting a New Developer Program
Monday, October 28th | 2:45-3:00pm
In late 2022, Eric took on an opportunity to use his DevRel experience to create and grow a developer program from the ground up at ADI. Since that move, the tech industry has seen economic turmoil, focused investment from the CHIPS act, and business model changes driven by AI impacting nearly every industry. In this talk, Eric will share some lessons learned through the process, as well as from prior organizations. How can you maintain forward progress through unexpected budgetary and organizational changes? How can you identify force multiplier opportunities within your company? What are some possible early wins when getting started? Attendees will leave with ideas they can apply to their own role and organization.
