One Hour a Month.
Zero Sales Pitch.
A live working session on what AI is actually doing to software, teams, and budgets - from people who ship it for a living. Real projects, real numbers, and the failure modes nobody puts in the vendor deck.

// what these are (and aren’t)
Not another AI keynote.
Thought leadership from people who actually ship: each month the panel shares what they’ve learned since the last time we talked. No vendor pitch dressed up as a "fireside chat" - each session digs into one question we get asked constantly (what AI actually costs, what it does to a team, when a big system build makes sense) using real projects and real numbers from work we shipped.
Mimi Fernandez moderates, and she’s not pulling punches. Bring the question you can’t ask your vendor - the last fifteen minutes belong to live Q&A.
- Free. 45 minutes, plus live Q&A.
- The recording goes to every registrant - even if you can’t make it live.
- One topic per session, argued from shipped work - not slideware.

// who’s on stage
Practitioners, and evangelists.
The people presenting are the people shipping - and yes, they get loud about what works. Nobody on this stage sells software they haven’t built.
Eric Hexter
Engineering leader. Brings the delivery-economics receipts - what changed, what didn’t, and what it costs now.
James Shaw
The finance-workflow session’s co-pilot - where AI belongs in the numbers, and where a human stays firmly in the loop.
Mimi Fernandez
Moderator. Keeps everyone honest and the Q&A moving. Not pulling punches is the job description.
