New York GILD AI Forum: AI and Engineering Leaders Dinner
Register with organizerWhat to look forward to
The GILD AI Forum will bring CTOs, VPs of Engineering, Heads of AI, and other senior technical leaders together for candid peer discussions on moving AI into production, integrating legacy systems, managing tool costs, and building effective governance. A practitioner-led conversation starter and small-group exchanges will keep the focus on real architectures, tradeoffs, and lessons learned.
Inside the event
This GILD AI Forum brings together CTOs, VPs of Engineering, Heads of AI, and senior technical leaders for candid conversations about building, scaling, and 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, and 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, and 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 and 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, and external services MCP, multi-agent systems, and the orchestration layer: what's working, what's overhyped, and what technical leaders are actually building Guardrails and governance for AI-generated code: who's accountable when the AI writes it, and what review processes actually hold up in production Presented in partnership with Tecla Tecla gives companies flexible access to vetted talent across the US and Latin America, developed for AI-native work and a
