This GILD AI Forum brings together CTOs, VPs of Engineering, Heads of AI, & senior technical leaders for candid conversations about building, scaling, & implementing AI inside their companies.
This isn't a conference. It's not a panel. It's a small, curated room of technical leaders sharing what's actually working, what's not, & the real challenges of shipping AI in the AI era.
Each Forum opens with a Conversation Starter, a practitioner sharing what their team is building with AI, followed by open Q&A. From there, the room breaks into intimate discussions where everyone has a seat at the table. Every attendee brings their own experience. Every attendee contributes.
No pitches. No performative networking. Just senior technical leaders being honest about the architectures they're choosing, the tradeoffs they're making, & what they wish they'd figured out sooner.
TRENDING THEMES FOR THIS SESSION
Conversations at the Forum are shaped by what technical leaders bring to the table. Themes likely to surface this evening include:
From AI pilots to AI in production: breaking out of the proof-of-concept trap & scaling agents into real workflows
Connecting AI to legacy systems: architectural patterns for integrating modern AI with 20-year-old stacks without breaking everything
The AI tooling budget problem: balancing experimentation with unsustainable spend as engineers blow through AI tool budgets
Engineers as curators, not creators: the shift from writing code to orchestrating AI agents, reusable components, & external services
MCP, multi-agent systems, & the orchestration layer: what's working, what's overhyped, & what technical leaders are actually building
Guardrails & governance for AI-generated code: who's accountable when the AI writes it, & what review processes actually hold up in production
Presented in partnership with Tecla
