You plan your roadmap carefully, but then reality happens. As early-year sales escalations and market signals disrupt your strategy, this meetup explores how to embrace uncertainty rather than resist it. We will focus on adopting a “verify, don’t assume” mindset and shifting your leadership goal from preventing change to reducing the cost of change. You will learn how to detect strategic risks and respond with a clear decision protocol. You’ll also learn how to build the continuous feedback loop and cultural foundations needed to keep your product process resilient throughout the year. Walk away with practical frameworks for leading teams and sustaining a healthy product engine when roadmaps inevitably break. **Agenda:** * 18:30 - Assembling: Food, drinks & schmoozing! * 19:00 – Tal Laufer, Product Leader "The beauty of a broken roadmap - why do roadmaps break, or when they should be" * 19:15 - Q&A #1 * 19:20 – Asaf Frenkel, Product Growth Lead @ Check Point "When the Q1 Roadmap Breaks: A Product Leader's Incident Response Plan" * 19:35 - Q&A #2 * 19:40 – Haim Ben Ami, CEO @ Craft.io - "Building the Feedback Loop: How to Nurture a Healthy Product Process" * 19:55 - Q&A #3 * 20:00 - More Schmoozing: Eating to the last bite, until they kick us out. **Our Speakers:** **1\.

Short, pointed talks will show real examples from practice: where AI helps, where it fails, and what it actually enables today. If you're an architect, engineer, or tech professional curious about the next wave of tools and workflows, this is a chance to see what's emerging and connect with others pushing the field forward. 🕒 Schedule: 18:00 🥂 Networking, Pizza & Drinks 18:30 👋 Welcome Words: Adi Shavit, SWAPP.AI 18:50 🎤 Guy Austern: Machine Learning for Architecture, CDML Lab, Technion [EN] 19:20 ☕ Break 19:30 🎤 Sapir Tubul: Transforming bidding and planning from month to minutes, LeanCon [HE] 20:00 🎤 Yuval Magen + Amir Aroesti: Digital Transformation at Tidhar, Tidhar Group [HE] 20:25 🤖 Cheli Hershcovich: AI-Powered BIM with Claude Desktop + Revit MCP, SWAPP.AI [EN] 20:40 🍻 Networking & Wrap-up More surprises to be announced! 📝 Registration: • Register in the lobby at ground floor (QR scan + name & email) • Go up to floor 16 • Check-in at entrance with your confirmation email 📍 Rothschild 22, Tel Aviv 📅 January 14, 2026 🏢 Hosted by Autodesk.TLV 🔧 Organized by SWAPP.AI

AI coding tools are everywhere now, but adoption is uneven. Some developers use them daily; others remain skeptical. Getting a whole team on board is harder than it looks. This meetup explores the practical side of that challenge — how to bridge the gap between enthusiasts and skeptics, and what actually works when rolling out AI coding across a team. Evgeny Potapov, engineering manager with over 20 years of experience and cofounder of US-based startup ApexData, will share lessons from 1.5 years of navigating this shift: — Why some developers hesitate, and the psychology behind it — What gets adopted easily, and which team practices help — When AI coding won't work and forcing adoption makes no sense — How to push back when AI is the wrong tool for the job If you're a developer, tech lead, or engineering manager facing similar questions, this is a chance to learn from real experience and connect with others on the same path. 🕒 Schedule: 18:30 🥂 Networking, Pizza & Drinks 19:00 👋 Welcome Words 19:15–20:00 🎤 Evgeny Potapov: AI-First Coding: Closing the Gap Between Skeptics and Practitioners in Dev Teams
