​GTM + AI: Selling in the AI Era

​​About The Event

​​The AI revolution is reshaping how we build, sell, and scale software products. Join us for an evening with some of NYC's top GTM operators from Anthropic, OpenAI, Clay, and other breakouts who are on the front lines of selling AI-powered solutions.

​​Some questions we'll tackle:

• ​​How is selling AI different from traditional SaaS?

• ​​What are the biggest advantages and challenges in the AI GTM space?

• ​​Which tools and tactics are actually moving the needle?

• ​​What outbound strategies are working in this evolving landscape?

• ​​For those looking for their next opp, how should they go about choosing the right one?

​​Expect honest conversations about what's working, what isn't, and where the market is headed next.
