Salon: Tell Silicon Valley What to Build
Artificial Reality Salon: Tell Silicon Valley What to Build
Most conversations about AI happen among founders, investors, and technologists.
This conversation is for the people expected to use it.
Join executives, operators, founders, and industry experts from healthcare, manufacturing, logistics, financial services, hospitality, media, retail, and beyond for an intimate discussion on one question:
What does your industry need from AI that doesn’t exist today?
Why Attend
This salon is designed to help you:
✓ Meet executives from industries shaping AI adoption
✓ Get your challenges and unmet needs heard by founders, investors, and builders
✓ Influence future AI products before they’re built
✓ Build relationships with leaders outside your industry facing many of the same transitions
While most AI conversations happen within industry silos, this evening is designed to create cross-industry learning, unexpected connections, and a clearer picture of where AI is actually creating value.
Discussion Topics
Together we’ll explore:
The most frustrating workflows still consuming time and attention
The gap between AI hype and operational reality
The tools businesses would adopt immediately if they existed
The problems technology companies still don’t fully understand
What the next generation of AI products should solve
A Curated Conversation
This is not a networking mixer.

It’s a curated salon where every attendee is expected to contribute their perspective and learn from others.
Attendance is intentionally limited to foster meaningful discussion and high quality connections.
