AI Strategy 2026: Scale Smarter or Get Left Behind
The AI revolution is moving faster than most companies can adapt — and 2026 will separate the winners from the rest.
At AI Strategy 2026: Scale Smarter or Get Left Behind, we’re bringing together four powerhouse leaders — founders, investors, and corporate innovators — for a no-fluff panel on how to scale with AI.
Confirmed speakers include:
Gene Teare- Crunchbase
Faraj Aalaei- Cognichip- CEO
Keith Teare- SignalRank- CEO
Pedram Mokrian- Innovera- CEO
Kayvan Baroumand - Host
This isn’t another generic AI talk. Expect raw insights, practical strategies, and forward-looking frameworks that you can apply in your boardroom the next morning. From capital markets to customer experience, from product design to operations, our speakers will unpack how AI is reshaping late-stage growth.
Join us in Menlo Park for a night of serious strategy, bold ideas, and future-shaping connections.
Because in 2026, it won’t be the biggest companies that win — it will be the smartest.
