TechTisch Hamburg: Beyond the Demo
We are pleased to invite you to the next TechTisch gathering, Vention's executive dinner series designed to bring together technology leaders for focused, high-value exchange. TechTisch is intentionally curated - combining honest discussion, real-world perspectives, and peer-to-peer dialogue over an exceptional dining experience.
This edition takes place at Chefs Warehouse, set in a converted warehouse in Hamburg's Speicherstadt. The kitchen brings bold South African flavors to the table, a fitting match for an evening built around candid conversation. Dinner, of course, is on us.
The evening will be guided by Paul Lunow, CTO of Digital Solutions (DACH) at Vention, moderating a discussion "Beyond the Demo":
The Speed Nobody Signed Off On: AI has pushed dev speed onto a real spectrum, from one engineer quietly testing a tool to spec-driven development where code ships untouched by human hands. Where do organizations actually sit on that spectrum, and what still has to hold once a PM is the one writing the code?
Leading Without a Clean Answer: Most CTO decisions are made with incomplete information, under pressure, about people, and rarely have a clean answer. How do organizations decide when nothing is clear, and what do you tell a team that's afraid AI is coming for their job while being asked to use it more?
Hire, Train, or Partner: Building the AI-Native Org: Greenfield AI demos are easy; legacy code, stakeholders, and real customers are not. And underneath it all sits the question nobody says out loud: if AI is doing what juniors used to do, where do the seniors come from in five years?
We look forward to a direct, experience-driven evening with peers who are figuring this out in real time.
