CTOs at Scale (SF) Forum: Scaling AI Adoption
ONLY for CTOs running engineering organizations of 250 or more.
CTOs at Scale is an invite-only Gather.dev community curated by Peter Bell.
Join us on Thursday, October 15 from 2:00pm to 5:00pm in SoMa for a working afternoon on scaling agentic adoption across a large org: how it's actually going, how to push it further, and what comes next.
This is a hands-on forum with CTOs benchmarking what good looks like and working together to identify good practices for building an agentic engineering org.
