This dinner explores the inflection point between experimentation and enterprise reality. Leaders will discuss what breaks as AI moves into production, how platforms, teams, and governance must evolve, and which decisions separate short-lived pilots from durable AI capabilities. The conversation focuses on real lessons learned, not idealized roadmaps. Sponsored by: TBD.
AI systems fail in ways traditional software does not. Models drift, agents behave unpredictably, data pipelines degrade, and accountability becomes unclear. This dinner creates space for leaders to openly discuss AI failure modes, organizational readiness, and how enterprises are preparing for recovery, oversight, and trust. The focus is on resilience, responsibility, and what leaders wish they had planned for sooner. Sponsored by: TBD.
Many AI decisions feel tactical today but carry long-term consequences. This dinner centers on the architectural, data, and organizational choices that will shape enterprise AI maturity years from now. Leaders will examine trade-offs around platforms, tooling, governance, and technical debt, and discuss how to avoid locking the organization into short-term wins that undermine long-term flexibility. Sponsored by: TBD.
