Tech Leaders Fine Dining Series: an Enterprise AI in Production Dinner: Private Dining at La Forêt in San Jose
This is the third of four dinners we are standing up to serve the overwhelming demand that tech execs have shown around connection and community in the South Bay.
The table is platform, data, and security leaders whose AI is already carrying real load. Inference bills that land on somebody's P&L every month. Agents holding permissions nobody has fully mapped. A model sitting on top of a legacy system that predates most of the team and is not allowed to go down.
The room runs wide on purpose: an architect inside a hundred-thousand-person semiconductor company with a real audit function, sitting next to a founder at seventy-five shipping into that exact buyer. Same constraint, different blast radius. Most of this room is hiring inside six months, so the question of whether the next headcount is a person or an agent comes up whether anyone plans it or not.
No panel, no deck, no badge scan. Twelve seats at one table, close enough that the conversation stays one conversation.

CTOs from Cresta, OpenSea, Invisible Technologies, unit21, Owlet, and Cognichip.
VPs of Engineering from Salesforce, Coinbase, LinkedIn, Roblox, Qualys, Calix, and FloQast.
