**AI is no longer a feature. It’s becoming the foundation.**
In a post-ChatGPT world, every SaaS company talks about AI.
But the real challenge lies with those who were already successful *before* this new wave, the products that now need to evolve their architecture, strategy, and leadership to stay ahead in the agentic era.
This curated gathering in **New York City** brings together CTOs, VPs of Engineering, Product Leaders, founders, and investors to explore how established SaaS companies are transforming their core systems and decision-making models through **agentic intelligence**.

***

**Who should attend?**
SaaS leaders ready to move past AI marketing speak: CTOs and engineering VPs building autonomous systems, product leaders rethinking their roadmaps for an AI-first world, and founders transforming their companies from the ground up.

Also, for forward-thinking business leaders and investors who want to understand the real technical and strategic shifts happening beneath the hype.

***

Through an honest and open panel conversation, our speakers will explore:

* What agentic AI really is, and how it goes beyond rules-based automation to goal-driven systems.
* Real-world challenges and lessons in embedding agentic AI into SaaS products and organizations.
* How trust, culture, and purpose shape AI adoption and responsible leadership.
* Insights, predictions, and philosophies for leading AI-driven innovation in the years ahead.

After the discussion, we’ll open the floor for a curated networking session, a moment to share experiences, exchange insights, and explore collaborations that could redefine leadership and innovation in the era of AI.
