Decisions worth a day together

This is an invitation-only, one-day conference for Directors, VPs, Heads and C-Level Product and Engineering Leaders in Los Angeles and Orange County. Hear how organizations have evolved their AI implementation, compare approaches with peers, and explore what those choices mean for your teams.

2026 theme: Evolved. AI agents and new operating models available in 2026 have resulted in evolved strategies and practices. Some of the leading minds will share how they have adapted their organizations and workflows, and provide practical examples and suggestions to help us all move forward.
