​About the Event

​AI is changing how work gets done inside modern organizations. From internal tools and copilots to automation across teams, leaders are investing heavily in technology designed to increase productivity. Many are still struggling to turn those investments into real, measurable impact. This evening brings together CEOs, founders, and COOs for an off-the-record conversation about how internal AI systems are actually being adopted and where they are delivering real productivity gains.

​GILD events are designed experiences, not casual dinners. This event follows The Curated Circuit, GILD’s signature format, built to maximize meaningful connection and insight in a small, high-trust room. The structure is intentionally designed to create new relationships, encourage honest exchange, and keep energy high through rotating micro-roundtable discussions and focused prompts. Everything in the format exists to protect room quality, pace, and trust.

​Join us for great conversation, accompanied by elevated appetizers and drinks.
