Engineering Leaders Play Chess
We are thrilled to invite you to Engineering Leaders Play Chess, where strategy meets intellect. Join us for a mix of strategic gameplay & insightful conversation!
As experienced engineering leaders, we know the value of strategy & focus. This event can be a break from the routine to play chess, connect with peers, & share a passion for technology & innovation. It's not a sales event. It's a space for engineering leaders from the SF Bay Area to meet, connect, & challenge their thinking through the timeless game of chess.
What to expect:
Open to all levels: whether you're a master, a complete beginner, or simply passionate about watching & discussing the game, please join us! We will create a format tailored to your preferences & skill level. Feel free to jump into a match or simply offer insights to others - there's a place for everyone on this board.
Intimate gathering: limited spots to foster real connections & stimulating discussions.
Play against Masters & maybe Grandmasters: test your skills against professionals or simply observe & learn from their gameplay.
No sales pitches: this is for curious minds. Come ready to think, strategize, & engage with fellow leaders in a relaxed, stimulating setting
We believe chess & conversation spark deep insights & connections. Join us for an evening of challenge, inspiration, & fun - no matter your chess experience.
Ready to play? Or simply watch & learn? See you on the chessboard!
