From ten-year-old Android phones to the latest PCs. Every day, on nearly hundreds of millions of devices. One of the engine’s leaders is Czech: Michal Benátský, Principal Software Engineer. He was one of Roblox’s three founding rendering programmers and for the past 11 years has helped shape the direction of its development. Today, the engine is developed by a team of roughly 25 people and is among the most widely used engines in the world.

**From Pilot to Production:** **Why Most AI Projects Die — and What the 10% Do Differently** Everyone is running AI pilots. Almost nobody's getting them to production. This second AI Transformers meetup, in cooperation with **[Emplifi](https://emplifi.io/)**, focuses on what actually happens between “we tried it” and “it runs our business” — the organizational blockers, data gaps, budget battles, and change management challenges that determine whether AI initiatives succeed or stall.

\*\*MPORTANT! Please register on [Luma page](https://luma.com/qmxm93hj)\*\*​ Are you a strong designer with a solid portfolio, but still feel like your true impact remains invisible? We often believe that simply creating good mockups is enough. But the reality is: design almost never creates results in isolation, and the market pays for business impact, not just execution. ​**🎤 [Vova Safonov](https://www.linkedin.com/in/vova-safonov/) — From a Reactive Designer to a Proactive Leader** We will break down the illusion of "I complete tasks = I work well" and discuss why strong designers often lose in the market. You will learn how to: * ​Stop waiting for tasks and start taking responsibility for solutions. * ​Understand business expectations (impact on revenue, conversion, retention). * ​Develop an entrepreneurial mindset inside the company. ​**🎤 [Ivan Rohovchenko](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ivanrogovchenko/) — 1+1=3: How a Designer Creates Real Impact.** The greatest value is born at the intersection of functions. Ivan will share tools and real cases from his experience building design functions across 10+ companies. You will learn: * ​**The Three Levels of Influence:** How your value creation changes from IC to Design Lead to CDO. * ​**Perspective vs. Power:** Why designers often lose influence by proposing solutions to problems nobody has acknowledged yet. * ​**Practice:** Concrete tools for effective cross-functional collaboration, including stakeholder mapping. ​Huge thanks to **[Nagarro](https://www.nagarro.com/en/?utm_source=luma)** for hosting us, providing the space, and supporting the local design and tech community! Let’s gather to exchange experiences, build cross-functional strategies, and network with like-minded professionals!
