No agenda, no panel, no pitch - just 10-12 senior people in one room having the conversations you can't have on the show floor.Who's at the tableFounders, CTOs, VPs of Engineering, Heads of AI / Data / Platform, principal engineers running real production AI workloads. The thread connecting everyone is operating AI in front of real users today - past the proof-of-concept phase, past the easy demos.Why this lunchThe AWS Summit floor is great for product announcements and partner conversations. It's not great for the conversation peers actually want to have with each other - the one about what's not working, what your team is actually struggling with, and what you're seeing inside your own org that you can't say in a panel.This is a closed, off-the-record-by-default table for that conversation. The kind of thing you'd normally only get at a private dinner with people you already know.What people usually talk aboutThere's no formal agenda. Recent versions of this conversation have ended up on:The honest gap between agentic demos and agentic productionMulti-model strategy, build-vs-buy, when consolidation makes senseEval, governance, and trust at scale - what's holding up under scrutinyThe unit-economic side of AI - what your CFO is starting to ask aboutBut the value is the people more than the topics. Whatever the table wants to dig into is where we go.HostJohn Kim is Co-Founder and CEO of Payloop - AI FinOps and margin intelligence for multi-tenant AI products; helping AI-first companies, externally and internally, save up to 70% on AI costs with no model changes. 3x acquired founder (Oracle, Salesforce, ServiceNow).
