TALK OVERVIEW

Distributed developer relations

Developer jobs are growing faster in areas that are not traditionally viewed as tech hubs. That means that developer relations teams that are hiring are looking in more places. And more importantly, it means the developer audiences that we are trying to reach are becoming less concentrated.

In most cases, at least some of the roles on a dev rel team will require travel. Having the right knowledge to successful manage a distributed team that frequently travels can make the difference between a successful program and an unsustainable effort that burns people out.

This talk presents a compelling mix of research, stories from the field, and knowledge from direct experience managing large dev rel teams. Managers and individual contributors alike will benefit from learning strategies for communication, working asynchronously, and making travel both tolerable and effective.
