Enterprise Tech Leaders Cigar Salon
neighbourhood

start time
This is some text inside of a div block.
Join Heizen during LA Tech Week for an exclusive, closed-door roundtable at one of LA’s premier cigar salons. This evening is for a curated group of leaders tasked with driving operational excellence in an age of disruption.
In today's complex enterprises, a significant disconnect often exists between corporate leadership focused on strategy and the on-ground teams handling real-time execution. This gap leads to misaligned software, failed AI adoption, and missed opportunities. As one strategist noted, the most critical missing asset is an "integrated view from the factory floor to the foxhole". Legacy systems and siloed data are no longer a stable foundation—they are the quickest path to being outmaneuvered.
This roundtable is a candid, off-the-record discussion on closing these operational gaps. We will explore how bespoke AI transformation—powered by embedded engineering talent—can bridge the divide between strategy and execution, modernizing legacy systems and unlocking efficiency gains. We believe, as Napoleon demonstrated, that the greatest results come when leaders are "in the trenches" with their teams, solving real problems on the ground.
Our discussion will center on tangible strategies for:
• Bridging the gap between executive vision and front-line execution.
• Leveraging custom AI for legacy modernization, internal tooling, and enhanced operational visibility.
• Deploying agile engineering teams that embed with your staff to drive adoption and deliver practical, iterative solutions, mirroring the successful Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) model.
Who Should Attend?
This is an invite-only event for VPs, Directors, and C-Suite executives from enterprise and mid-market companies ($100M+ revenue). If you lead teams in complex, operations-heavy environments and are responsible for driving AI strategy and transformation, we want you in the room.
What to Expect
• Candid Conversation: A private discussion with a small group of industry leaders who understand that your status quo is the losing state.
• Premium Experience: A selection of world-class cigars and top-shelf spirits.
• High-Caliber Networking: Connect with peers who, like you, are shaping the narrative arc of their companies from challenge to greatness.
This is your opportunity to forge the path to operational leadership. Spaces are extremely limited to ensure a valuable and intimate conversation.

THE PORT GLOBAL, GLOBAL PORTAL INSTITUTE
No ecology, no economy. No biosphere, no business. Today, nature-based innovations are leading the way in integrative approaches that apply precious climate assets towards modern market applications, scaling successful millennia frameworks that parallel biodiversity adaptation. Humanity holds the key to a legacy that is its own, translating vital resources into commodities with nature-based elements driving trillion-dollar economies.
From the historical and geographical heart of both the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia and Oceania, we can now leverage the solutions that have already been in existence since the wild beginning of mankind. This conversation brings to discussion something bigger than the market, something that is not a challenge for tomorrow but an immediate urgency that starts here at the crossroads of tech and new models of transmission of threatened millenary intelligence, to scale longevity and dividends rather than disappearance.
Following presentations at Climate Week NYC and the Davos World Biodiversity Forum, and ahead of COP 30 in the Amazon, this session held by the Global Portal institute* in partnership with The Port Global** will explore these respective leverages, including:
— A global Nest-Work mapping strategic human-environment interactions to encode biodiversity and reinforce adaptive actions;
— The establishment of platforms across Diasporic communities for knowledge transfer, impact, and investment;
— The enabling of legacy practices and tools to properly value and scale critical resources.
This international event, taking place for the United Nations International Day of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, will be broadcast between the Americas and Asia from Los Angeles, São Paulo, and Athens (Greece).
--- SPEAKERS (ANNOUNCED SOON) ---
Crucial millenary regions’ commitments toward disruptive technologies in their fields — particularly in agriculture, climate, energy, and logistics shared between the Mediterranean and the Amazon Basin — combined with the wake-up call of current natural disasters, bring together the most precise combination of representatives from civil society, policy-makers, industry leaders.
After embracing these issues creating meaningful local connections for innovation and network reinforcing strategic actions for nearly a decade, The Port Global has partnered with GPI to leverage the next major opportunity: the millenary praxis held by the Hellenic Republic, in parallel to other long-standing civilizations.
Speakers with experience at the intersection of digital development and environmental education will highlight the essential elements that can already be applied to businesses, markets, and other ecosystems.
--- ABOUT THE HOSTS ---

What AI Still Can’t Do.
In a world of automation, what’s left for humans? Everything that matters. This session is a no-BS wake-up call about the skills AI can’t replicate: decision-making, prioritization, context, relationship building, conflict management, and more. Powered by Xapa’s research in workplace learning and behavior change, we’ll explore why soft skills are becoming the core skills and how platforms like Xapa are turning them into measurable, scalable competencies.
Call it the rise of the liberal arts in business. The future doesn’t belong to the machine; it belongs to the emotionally intelligent, the systems thinkers, and the ones who know how to work with, not like, AI.
