Tech Week Afterparty: The AI Operator
The AI Operator is an event series for the people responsible for making AI actually work inside a business.
Most AI programmes don't fail at the idea stage. They stall in the middle.
A dozen pilots running across different departments, each one working fine on its own, and nobody able to answer the three questions leadership eventually asks: what's running, what is it deciding, and what is it costing us?
That's where the majority of AI strategies get stuck somewhere between "we're experimenting" and "this is in production."
What You’ll Get
See production AI systems end to end: not a demo environment, not a prototype.
Understand what an AI agent actually does, and where it should never be trusted.
See how teams roll AI out across multiple departments without adding engineering headcount.
Get the governance questions answered properly: audit trails, access control, data residency and cost per workflow.
Understand where orchestration sits between the models and your systems, and why that layer decides whether you’re locked in.
Hear what didn’t work, from people who ran it.
Compare notes with peers who own the same rollout.
Leave with two or three use cases you can scope next week.
Who This Is For
This event is built for the people who own AI inside an organisation:
Heads of AI, AI Transformation and Applied AI
Heads and Managers of Business Automation and AI Operations
COOs, VPs of Operations and Chiefs of Staff carrying an AI mandate
CIOs, IT leaders and Enterprise Architects who inherit whatever the business deploys
Founders and operators of 100 to 10,000-person businesses where you are the AI strategy
You don’t need to be technical. You do need to own, or be about to own, the rollout.
On fit: this is about AI inside the business: operations, process and revenue systems.
If your work is primarily building AI features into a product for your customers, this is pointed in the other direction and you’ll get less out of it.
What To Expect
Live builds and agent demonstrations running against real systems
Deployment and governance walked through, not glossed over
Orchestration patterns you can reuse
Straight answers on cost, reliability and vendor lock-in
Peer conversations over drinks, not a lecture
A clear view of what’s genuinely working in the region right now
Hosted By
The AI Operator, together with Make and Stob.AI.
Stob.AI is an official OpenAI Select Partner and a Make implementation partner.
That pairing is the point: OpenAI provides the intelligence, Make orchestrates the work and makes it visible, and Stob.AI turns both into something a business can actually run on.
