Six Feet Up Sponsors 7CTOs 0111 Conference

The CTO role looks a lot different than it did a decade ago. AI is reshaping engineering teams, technology decisions are getting more complex, and expectations for technology leaders keep growing.

These challenges are at the heart of the 7CTOs 0111 Conference, taking place Nov. 5–6, 2026, in San Diego, CA. Six Feet Up is proud to be a Bronze Sponsor and the exclusive host of the opening-night kickoff happy hour on Nov. 4. Expect great conversations, a few toasts, and music spun by Six Feet Up CTO and AWS Hero Calvin Hendryx-Parker. It's a chance to reconnect with familiar faces, meet new peers, and kick off two days of learning and connection.

This year's theme, “Then. Now. Next.” celebrates 10 years of the 7CTOs community while looking ahead. The theme raises three questions:

• What have technology leaders learned from the past decade?
• What's working today?
• How can they prepare their teams and organizations for what’s coming?

With just 100 attendees, 0111 trades traditional conference presentations for candid conversations, member-led sessions, and hands-on experiences. It's an opportunity for CTOs to exchange ideas, challenge assumptions, and learn how peers are navigating everything from AI adoption to scaling teams.

As an active 7CTOs member, Calvin brings a passion for emerging technologies and a track record of turning hard software problems into practical solutions. His conversations with fellow CTOs help connect emerging ideas with real-world engineering and leadership decisions.
