Topics include how to establish defensibility against AI platforms, securing initial institutional funding, strategies for attracting AI talent, sustainable pricing for AI products, and when mergers and acquisitions should become part of your strategic approach. These are not just theoretical concerns; they will be directly tackled by knowledgeable speakers.
Bring Your Current Challenges to Disrupt
The Builders Stage focuses on the practicalities of growing companies: raising funds, recruiting talent, finding product-market fit, refining product strategy, and scaling effectively. Roundtables are designed to foster intimate, interactive conversations about the reasoning behind major decisions in the tech world. Breakout sessions provide a platform to pose direct questions to industry leaders.
Throughout the wider agenda, participants will explore themes surrounding AI agents, enterprise integration, fintech, infrastructure, robotics, energy, security, and the evolving economics of technology businesses. The aim isn’t just to accumulate predictions but to understand how current practitioners are addressing these changes.
Engage with over 250 leaders who have made significant impacts within the tech landscape, including founders, investors, and operators from notable companies such as Anthropic, OpenAI, Rivian, Cerebras, Replit, and more, alongside special guest Mark Wahlberg. Don’t miss your chance to grab your pass and save up to $200 before the deadline on September 25 at 11:59 p.m. PT.
Gain Insight into Decision-Making Processes
If you’re seeking funding, you’ll hear from investors about what helps a company transition from an introductory meeting to a term sheet. For those in the building phase, discussions will focus on how founders differentiate products, navigate AI economics, recruit talent, and scale operations. Investors will see how companies adapt in real-time to emerging problems and new market opportunities.
Leaders in product or technology can compare strategies across various sectors regarding similar decisions they face internally. The aim is to leave with a clearer understanding of the alternatives available to you.
Transform Notes into Actionable Steps
With over 200 sessions across six stages, roundtables, and breakout discussions, you can prioritize the sessions that resonate with your current needs. Engage with fellow speakers and participants to learn what worked, what didn’t, and how they might approach situations differently. The goal is to return home not just with a notebook filled with quotes but with a clearer pathway for your next steps.
