Fireside Chat: Building a Company in an AI Age

​Artificial intelligence is reshaping every stage of building a company. In this fireside chat, Sheldon McCormick, CEO of Communitech, and Nick Lebesis, Founder of Neolific, will explore how founders and teams can leverage AI to accelerate growth, sharpen strategy and uncover new opportunities — all while navigating the challenges of emerging technologies.

​Nick will share real-world lessons on integrating AI into operations, developing AI-driven products and building resilient teams in a time of rapid change.

​Whether you’re launching your first product or scaling into new markets, you’ll leave with practical insights to help your company not just adapt to the AI era, but lead in it.

​After the chat, stay to network, keep the conversation going and enjoy some great snacks.
