Off the Grid | A Private Sail for AI Leaders
Hi, Siva Surendira, Founder and CEO of Lyzr, here.
A couple of months ago, we started a sail series with a simple idea: bring together executives leading early AI adoption.
Each edition takes a curated group out on the water from Manhattan for a two-hour cruise with good conversation, drinks, and skyline views.
This sail will be a larger, catered ecosystem gathering of about 60 executives leading AI initiatives inside their organizations.
Past attendees of our sails have included leaders from Impetus, PwC, Netflix, Snapchat, NVIDIA, GCP, Citi, AWS, JPMorgan Chase, Accenture, Firstsource, KPMG, Deloitte, iHeartRadio, U.S. Bank, WTW, Verifone, AMD, Arm, Dell, Morgan Stanley, and Citadel Securities.
What to expect:
Catered drinks and light bites on a private chartered sailboat
Skyline views and open-deck time
Meaningful connections with ambitious peers
