Hey Game Developers Conference 2015 attendees, have you recently been promoted to your first lead technical position in game development? Congratulations! Now what?

Make time to attend his talk if you want to know what a lead needs to pay attention to, what responsibilities a lead has to his or her team, and how you can get things done in your new role.
