Chalk talks are the lightest format in the Caliber programme. A single concept, presented in 45–60 minutes, free to attend. Built for the working engineer who has an hour to spare and wants something useful for it.
A chalk talk is built around one concept worth an hour. The format is simple: a Senior Principal walks through the idea, shows where it lands in real code or systems, and answers questions. Not a course. Not a workshop. A talk.
Chalk talks are our way of putting the Caliber bar in front of you with no commercial commitment. If you like the hour, you can go further with a masterclass or workshop. If you don't, you got an hour of useful material.
Run virtually most often; in person at corporate venues when a host is available. Recorded for the self-paced library where the speaker permits.
