Technology Executive Dinner | Seattle, WA

Wednesday, April 15th | 6:00 PM PT
 

Over 70% of AI pilots never reach meaningful scale. The problem isn’t the model — it’s the operating model around it.

Uncover why AI adoption isn’t the real question — operating model redesign is — at this exclusive Technology Executive Dinner featuring Melissa Watson, Vice President, Marketing | CRM, Analytics, Operations & Engineering at MarTech.

In her executive briefing, “AI at Scale: The Leadership Decisions That Matter – A MarTech Operating Model Perspective,” Melissa delivers a no-nonsense look at what separates AI theater from measurable enterprise impact. She’ll break down the critical difference between layering AI onto legacy systems versus redesigning your operating model around it. Expect sharp, real-world insights into the true constraints limiting AI ROI — measurement frameworks, interoperability gaps, governance blind spots — and what technology leaders must prioritize beyond copilots and automation hype.

This isn’t a conference. It’s an intimate, high-caliber executive forum designed for meaningful dialogue. As the #1 leader in short-format technology events, TechTalk Summits curates decision-maker conversations that cut through vendor noise and focus on practical strategy. Engage directly with senior peers and vetted solution providers, pressure-test your approach, and leave with battle-tested perspectives you can apply immediately.

Add to that a premium dining experience in a highly rated venue, and you have an evening engineered for strategic edge — not small talk.

Seats are limited to preserve executive-level dialogue.
Secure your spot now and elevate how you lead AI at scale.
