Join us for fun and engaging conference talk, where we explore the different organizational placements of DevRel within a company. Get ready to uncover various reporting structures' pros, cons, and real-life experiences, all wrapped up in a nostalgic 80s pop-culture vibe.

We'll kick off by providing an overview of the various organizational structures that DevRel can belong to, such as Marketing, Product Management, or even Engineering. Discover the unique opportunities and challenges that arise in each scenario.

Next, we'll share the secret sauce for successful collaboration between DevRel and other teams, regardless of their reporting structure. Learn how to sync your goals, optimize communication, and bridge the gap between developers and your product, all while keeping the developer community engaged and authentic.

Finally, we'll reveal the impact different DevRel placements can have on your organization. Find out how a well-integrated DevRel team can boost product enhancements and developer adoption and deliver a smoother user experience.
