An invitation-only dinner for Los Angeles technology leaders asking whether their AI spend has started to compound.

WHO IT'S FOR

CIOs, CTOs and Chief Data Officers at Los Angeles-area enterprises who have AI in production and are now funding the next build. Seating is limited.

WHY THIS CONVERSATION

Many enterprises shipped real AI work this year. Far fewer can say whether the second build cost less than the first. The answer tells you whether AI spend is building an asset or paying the same setup cost every time a new use case starts.

Over dinner, the table works through three questions:

• Where is AI investment compounding today, and how do you know?
• Why does reuse break down between the first build and the second?
• What would it take to manage AI spend as capital?

WHAT YOU'LL LEAVE WITH

You'll hear how other technology leaders measure the cost of each new AI build, and which parts of their first build carried into the second.
