Innovation Panel: No Fluff. What’s Actually Working in AI
AI is moving fast, but the gap between a compelling demo and measurable business value remains wide. We’re bringing together technology leaders and practitioners for a direct conversation about what is working, what is failing, and what companies are learning as they move AI from experimentation into real products, workflows, and operations.
Join us for an unfiltered discussion about the wins, failures, trade-offs, and lessons shaping how AI is actually being used today, followed by food, drinks, and networking with fellow technology leaders and builders.
When and Where
August 19, 2026 | Zenses Immersive, San Francisco, California
What to Expect
A candid discussion focused on real implementation, not predictions or polished success stories. We’ll explore AI use cases delivering tangible value, experiments that failed to scale, the technical and organizational barriers teams are encountering, and the decisions that separate production-ready AI from expensive prototypes.
Expect practical insights, honest lessons, and perspectives from people actively building, deploying, and leading AI initiatives.
What’s Included
Food, drinks, a room full of AI engineers and technology leaders worth meeting, and plenty of opportunities to exchange ideas with people working on real AI challenges.

CTOs, CIOs, and Chief AI Officers, Chief Data and AI Officers, VPs and Heads of AI, Engineering, Data, and Product, AI and machine learning engineers, founders and product leaders, Executives responsible for AI strategy, adoption, and ROI
