Emerging Tech Corp Inno Meetup
Operating Enterprise AI at Scale: Building the Control Plane
A closed-door conversation for senior enterprise leaders navigating one of the hardest problems in AI right now: how to move from scattered pilots to governed, production-grade systems, without slowing down the business.
This invitation-only roundtable takes the place of 1871's regularly scheduled Corporate Innovator Meetup, convening a small group of senior leaders from large enterprises immediately before 1871's Emerging Tech Summit.
As enterprises move from isolated copilots to interconnected AI systems, success depends on more than model performance. Organizations need a control plane that provides secure connectivity, policy enforcement, runtime visibility, and operational governance across increasingly autonomous AI workloads.
Join Dell Technologies Capital, and two growth-stage enterprise AI startups, Tetrate and Singulr, for a practitioner-focused discussion on the architectural layers enterprises are building to operate AI safely, reliably, and at production scale, focusing on what leaders must operationalize now as AI moves from experimentation to organization-wide transformation.
This session is intended for CIOs, innovation executives, technology leaders, and other senior decision-makers directly responsible for enterprise AI strategy, transformation, governance, infrastructure, or implementation.
