#28 Meetup | Show Me the ROI: Selling Engineering Ideas Without the BS

Why do some engineering initiatives get the green light—while others get buried in the backlog?

At this meetup, we flip the script and bring in the people who hold the decision-making power. Leaders from major organizations will share what actually earns their trust, what kills even the best ideas, and what they wish engineering teams understood when making a pitch.

You’ll hear:

• 🛑 The red flags that make them say “not now”

• 🟢 What makes them lean in and say “tell me more”

• 💡 Real stories of regret, missed opportunities—and the ideas that changed everything

• 💬 How they coach their teams to speak in business value, not buzzwords

• 📊 What metrics and signals matter when budgets are tight

Whether you’re trying to get buy-in, budget, or just a seat at the table—this one’s for you.
