The AI Stacks for Speed and Scale

About the Event

Engineering teams are moving faster than ever, but AI has changed the rules.
New tools are unlocking massive productivity gains, yet they also create complexity, reliability issues, and integration challenges. The best teams are now rebuilding their engineering stacks to balance speed, stability, and scale.

This Gild Dinner brings together CTOs and engineering leaders for a hands-on conversation about what is actually working in AI-driven development. Expect honest insights, not hype.

Recent findings show why this shift matters:

• GitHub (2025): Ninety-two percent of developers now use AI coding tools, but only thirty-five percent of organizations have a clear adoption strategy.
  
  
• McKinsey (2025): Teams that integrate AI into workflows see thirty to fifty percent productivity gains but often struggle with governance and tooling gaps.
  
  
• Accel (2025): Top performers are replacing fragmented tools with connected systems that accelerate delivery without losing reliability.
  
  

At the dinner, we will discuss:

• Which AI tools and stacks are driving real impact
  
  
• How teams are redesigning workflows for faster and safer releases
  
  
• What practices are keeping systems stable as speed increases
  
  

You will leave with:

• Real examples of AI tools and processes that deliver measurable results
  
  
• Practical ideas to improve velocity and reliability in your own teams
  
  
• New connections with peers leading modern engineering organizations
  
  

This is a practical, unfiltered conversation about how AI is reshaping engineering right now.
