Networking
Happy Hour
Six live debates, one bold format: enterprise leaders and Silicon Valley builders go head-to-head on AI's biggest assumptions, with audience votes revealing how minds change in real time—no slides, no pitches, just sharp arguments backed by real experience from Citibank, PepsiCo, Meta, Google, and more. This invite-only Plano gathering pairs hard-hitting debate with a five-course lunch and cocktails, giving data and AI leaders, investors, and founders rare space for candid conversation on what's actually working—and what's hype—in enterprise AI. Expect practical takeaways on data readiness, AI economics, and scaling AI without losing control, all set in an upscale hotel built for executive networking.
From the organizer
If you’re a Data or AI practitioner interested in speaking or sharing your expertise, please email [email protected]. We’d be happy to offer you a complimentary pass to the event.An invite-only afternoon bringing together enterprise leaders, investors, and startup founders to challenge the biggest assumptions shaping enterprise AI.
Two executives take opposing sides, followed by a live startup demo with no pitch. The audience votes before and after each debate to see what changes minds.
The Six Debates:
1. Your data will never be ready. Ship AI anyway
2. Bigger models are worth the price
3. Coding agents are worth what they cost today
4. Governance is slowing enterprise AI down
5. AI can run the revenue plan better than people
6. Most enterprise AI spend is wasted
Five-Course Lunch & Cocktails
Continue the conversation over a curated five-course lunch and cocktails, with time for meaningful one-to-one conversations and executive networking.
The day brings together two worlds:
1. Enterprise Data and AI Leadership — current and former leaders with experience across Datasite, Citibank, WESCO, PepsiCo, Toyota, and other global enterprises.
2.Silicon Valley Innovation — builders and researchers with experience at Netflix, Meta, Google, and leading AI companies.
What We'll Explore:
1. Getting Data Ready for AI
Where do enterprise AI initiatives actually break down—data quality, context, access, security, or governance?Learn how experienced Data & AI leaders are building trusted data foundations that AI can actually use.
2.What’s Next in AI
Which emerging AI capabilities are genuinely changing enterprise possibilities—and which are still hype?
Explore reasoning, specialized models, test-time compute, intelligent routing, and new approaches to building efficient intelligence.
3.Turning AI into Business Value
Why do so many AI pilots struggle to become measurable business outcomes?
Identify where AI is delivering measurable improvements in productivity, revenue, customer experience, software, and operations.
4.The Economics of Intelligence
Does more expensive intelligence actually create more business value?
Match model capability to the business problem—optimizing for accuracy, cost, latency, and performance rather than simply choosing the largest model.
