Many content designers dream about having a seat at the big kids’ table—where you’ve got a team, a position of influence, and some budget to make things happen. What no one tells you is how lonely senior leadership can feel. Business KPIs, organizational politics, and problems of scale that are often much bigger than content design now rest squarely on your shoulders. The folks below you are looking for answers, and the ones above you are busy with their own challenges. This interactive session won’t solve all your problems. It will, however, give you space to talk, think, and bond with other content design leaders who’ve been there or are about to be. Ideally, we all come out of this a little less lonely.
