Join Us for an Exclusive Dinner: Scaling Agentic AI from Pilot to Production

We’re hosting an intimate VIP dinner on July 9th in Seattle, gathering a select group of AI researchers, innovators, and entrepreneurs for a candid, no-pitch discussion. Our focus: scaling agentic AI from proof-of-concept demos and pilots to full production, including enterprise data integration and navigating the transition from copilots to autonomous agents. This exclusive dinner, sponsored and moderated by Squid AI, with additional thought-leading speakers to be announced, is designed for active practitioners, decision-makers, and AI leaders involved in—or seriously exploring—real-world AI solutions within their organizations.

Whether you’re a Head of Innovation driving AI transformation at scale, or a practitioner implementing agentic systems in production—if you’re bridging the gap from prototype to enterprise deployment with measurable impact, this conversation is for you. We’ll dive deep into MCP integrations, autonomous agent architectures, and the business challenges of building production-grade AI that actually moves the needle.

This exclusive dinner is sponsored and moderated by Squid AI for leaders tackling the sophisticated challenges of enterprise agentic AI.

This dinner is purposefully curated to maintain a high strategic and business bar, ensuring a truly valuable discussion for all in attendance.

Discussion Topics

We’ll shape the conversation around real-world applications and strategic problem-solving in scaling agentic AI from POC to production.

• MCP-Enabled Enterprise Integration: Leveraging Model Context Protocol and enterprise data sources to build AI agents that seamlessly integrate with existing systems, from initial POCs to production-ready autonomous workflows.

• Transitioning from Copilots to Autonomous Agents: Navigating the business architecture, organizational challenges, and incremental deployment strategies needed to evolve from assisted AI tools to fully independent agents operating at enterprise scale.

• ROI-Driven Development and Production Deployment: Rapid prototyping strategies that demonstrate immediate value, coupled with building secure, scalable AI agent platforms that prove sustained business impact throughout the entire journey.

Core Theme: Scaling Agentic AI from POC to Production The strategic and business journey of transforming experimental AI agent prototypes into enterprise-grade autonomous systems that deliver measurable value across complex organizations.
