About the Content
Andela invites you to join a private executive dinner and panel discussion focused on what it really takes to scale AI beyond experimentation.
Many enterprises have launched pilots, tested tools, and explored use cases, but far fewer have built the systems needed to make AI repeatable across the business. The companies pulling ahead are building AI factories—systems that continuously design, deploy, and iterate on agents at scale across workflows, talent, and infrastructure.
This shift requires more than technology alone. It calls for the right engineering talent, stronger operational foundations, better integration across systems, and a practical approach to governance as AI becomes part of day-to-day execution.
During this peer-driven conversation, senior leaders across engineering, IT, infrastructure, architecture, platform, and AI will discuss how their organizations are creating the conditions for AI to move faster, scale more effectively, and deliver real business value.
Join fellow enterprise technology leaders for an evening of peer learning, meaningful networking, and a private dinner in an intimate setting at one of the city’s top restaurants.
