Tech Leaders Fine Dining Series: an AI Platform Builders Dinner: Private Dining at All Spice in San Mateo
This is the first of four dinners we are standing up to serve the demand tech execs have shown around connection and community on the Peninsula and in the South Bay.
The table is engineering and product leaders building or buying AI platform work. Model infrastructure, agents, evals, the data plumbing underneath, the parts that break when you scale them. Most of this room is hiring inside six months, so hiring comes up whether anyone plans it or not.
No panel, no deck, no badge scan. One table small enough that everyone can hear everyone, which is the entire reason we cap it at twelve.
WHO'S BEEN AT THE TABLE
CTOs from Cresta, OpenSea, Invisible Technologies, unit21, Owlet and Cognichip.
VPs of Engineering from Salesforce, Coinbase, LinkedIn, Roblox, Qualys, Calix and FloQast.
Chief AI Officers from PsiQuantum, Nutanix and Progress Software.
Heads of AI from SAP, AMD, Ironclad, NICE Actimize, Uniphore and Meta.
