Gild Mixer: The AI Stacks for Speed and Scale
About the Event
AI stacks for CTOs/Heads of Platform
Sponsor
This mixer is underwritten by Tecla, helping engineering teams build faster with vetted U.S. and nearshore talent, on demand.
Why this mixer
AI has already changed how your teams ship software.
The real question now: which AI stack are you going to bet your 2026 roadmap on?
This small-room GILD mixer is for CTOs, VPs of Engineering, Heads of Platform, and Staff+ leaders who are actively rebuilding their stack for AI-assisted development—and need real stories from peers, not vendor hype.
Recent surveys from GitHub, McKinsey, and others all say the same thing: Almost everyone is using AI coding tools, but very few teams have a coherent stack and governance model.
At the mixer, we’ll compare notes on:
The AI tools and stacks that are actually driving impact in production
How teams are redesigning workflows for faster and safer releases
The practices keep systems stable as speed increases
Expect honest insights, not hype.
You’ll leave with
Concrete examples of AI tooling and processes that are delivering measurable results in other teams
Practical ideas you can test in your own stack over the next quarter
New connections with peers leading modern engineering organizations in Austin
This is a practical, unfiltered conversation about how AI is reshaping engineering right now, and what your stack should look like going into 2025.
