FutureLab : Off Script - Leadership Dinner

A private dinner for the leaders shaping the next generation of engineers. 📍 Bangalore📅 Tuesday, September 29, 2026🕡 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM The industry has spent the last decade debating how to hire engineers. The next decade will be defined by how we develop them. What will distinguish exceptional engineers from average ones in an AI-first world? Which skills are becoming more valuable, and which are quietly losing relevance? How do engineers develop judgment, systems thinking, and technical depth when AI can generate solutions faster than ever? What experiences create future Staff Engineers, architects, and CTOs? These answers influence how we build teams, mentor talent, design career ladders, and prepare the next generation for an engineering landscape that looks fundamentally different from the one most of us entered. FutureLab: Off Script brings together a small group of senior engineering leaders for an honest, off-the-record conversation on the future of engineering talent and leadership. No panels. No presentations. No formal networking. Just a thoughtfully curated table of leaders comparing notes on what they're seeing, what they're changing, and what they believe great engineering will look like in the years ahead.Twelve seats. Dinner runs long. Conversations stay in the room. Who's this for? Hosted by FutureLab by Newton School of Technology ​About FutureLab by Newton School of Technology FutureLab is a forum that brings together builders, operators, and engineering leaders to explore the questions shaping the future of technology, talent, and innovation. This year alone, FutureLab has brought together 400+ senior engineering leaders and founders from India's leading tech companies. The last edition of Off Script brought together senior engineering leaders from Microsoft, Amazon, LinkedIn, NVIDIA, Adobe, Visa, Razorpay, Rubrik and others around one table. What made the evening work wasn't a panel or an agenda. It was the candour of the room - leaders comparing notes as peers on the questions and challenges that rarely make it to a stage or LinkedIn. This edition continues that conversation with another curated table of engineering leaders.​​​​See you at the table!
