Engineering Leadership Forum: Agents that run software
AI helps teams write code faster, but it only compounds the harder problem: running production.
Engineers still spend most of their time on incidents, performance and cost issues, and unblocking peers—while tools and architectures keep shifting.
Join us on the SVB rooftop in Downtown SF for our annual engineering leadership forum designed to explore high-impact applications of AI beyond the build, featuring tech luminaries and enterprise leaders tackling the toughest challenges and biggest shifts in modern software engineering.
Speakers:
Prashant Ramarao - VP of Engineering, Motive
Sandeep Contractor - Managing Director, Engineering, MSCI
Stephen Brewer - SVP of Engineering, Toast
Jim Tsiamis - VP of Engineering and Lead of SRE, Zscaler
Spiros Xanthos - Founder and CEO, Resolve AI
Topics:
Velocity improvements: How AI agents can boost velocity and simplify the day-to-day realities of running production (where teams spend 70% of their time)
Reliable systems at scale: Adoption paths from simple LLM calls to multi-agent systems: what works, where things break, and how to make these systems safe at scale
Industry insights: How engineering teams at companies like Coinbase, DoorDash, Salesforce, and Zscaler are rethinking on-call, reliability, and cost management
The ROI of AI: How engineering leaders are getting a grip on ballooning costs and starting to measure true ROI from AI tooling
Drinks, snacks, and rooftop views from 5:30 - 6:30 pm. Speakers begin at 6:30 pm.
Q&A, conversation, and cocktails to follow 🥂
