Coder executive forum: Building the agentic enterprise
AI agents are moving fast, but speed without control creates a new set of executive problems:
-> runaway token costs
-> questions of ownership and sovereignty
-> bottleneck that's quietly shifted from writing code to everything downstream of it
At the home turf of the San Francisco 49ers we gather in an executive forum to work (not only talk) through those problems in the open.
♢ Featuring Coder and Industry Leaders ♢
Come meet and learn directly from other executives and senior practitioners actually shipping AI in production:
▸ Rob Whitley - CEO, Coder
▸ Nicky Pike - Field CTO, Coder
▸ Gene Kim - Author of “The Phoenix Project and The Unicorn Project”
-> Rob opens the floor, followed by a live panel and Q&A with Nikki.
-> After the panel, we break into small, facilitated roundtables where you pick the problem that matters most to you, dig in with peers, and leave with practical takeaways.
IMPORTANT: Every table's discussion gets captured and turned into a shared readout, so you walk away with actionable learnings from all three themes, not just the one you sat at.
-> We'll close out with an appearance from Gene Kim, bestselling author of “The Phoenix Project and The Unicorn Project”, with a book signing on-site.
♢ What to expect ♢
The bottleneck has moved - how cheap code generation reshapes the delivery pipeline, the platform team's role, and where the real constraints now sit
Tokenomics and cost control - how to regain predictability when AI spend is scaling faster than value
Sovereignty and ownership - what it takes to keep AI workloads self-hosted, secure, and genuinely under your control
