In this episode of the Mob Mentality Show, Chris Lucian is joined by Amy Dredge, Will Munn, and Mike Clement to dive deep into how Open Space Technology (OST) is transforming the way engineering leaders learn, connect, and solve real-world challenges together.
Whether you're a Staff+ engineer, an engineering manager, or a tech leader looking for meaningful growth, this episode uncovers how OST creates space for peer-to-peer learning that’s spontaneous, high-impact, and deeply human.
We explore:

The Engineering Leadership Summit — what it is, why it matters, and how it's unlike traditional conferences.
How Open Space Technology empowers attendees to shape their own agenda and focus on the most pressing leadership challenges.
The shift from passive presentations to active conversations among experienced engineering leaders.
Lessons learned from hosting and attending open space events — from hallway chats to high-trust collaboration.
How tools like GatherTown help replicate the spontaneity of in-person connection in a remote world.
Why this format resonates deeply with Staff+ and senior engineering leaders seeking authenticity, relevance, and practical insight.

We also compare remote vs. in-person open space events, dig into accessibility, and share actionable tips for running your own internal or external open space sessions inside engineering orgs.
🎧 This is a must-listen for anyone serious about growing engineering culture, building leadership communities, and fostering real, unscripted learning.
