We are excited to announce the lineup for our first ever internal conference, the OVO Product Development Conference. This is a chance for our tech, product and UX people to get together, listen to some amazing talks from their peers, participate in workshops and socialise.
The event will be at CodeNode, one of London's best conference venues. After a keynote from the OVO Energy Group CTO, Ed Conolly, we'll split into three tracks of talks and workshops. Finally we'll regroup for a closing keynote from Cassie Harman, Product Director.
We conducted an internal CFP and received a lot of great submissions, so the programme committee had a really tough job selecting talks and putting the schedule together.
Without further ado, here is the full lineup.
