/ About this event

AI is making engineering faster. So why is enterprise ROI still so hard to prove?

Enterprises are investing heavily in AI. Engineering teams are shipping more. But more output doesn't necessarily mean more business value. Rework, inconsistency, review overhead, and production risk can quietly eat into those gains.

So where does the value get lost?

General-purpose AI is increasingly capable, but enterprise engineering isn't just about generating code. It requires context: your architecture, systems, standards, dependencies, workflows, and business priorities.

During SF Tech Week, CTOs and senior engineering leaders will come together for a closed-room discussion about where AI creates value, where it gets lost, and how to measure the difference.

We call that gap drift: the distance between what the business sets out to build, what engineering actually produces, and what ultimately creates value.

This event is a part of #SFTechWeek, a week of events hosted by the top founders, funds, and companies to bring together the tech ecosystem. Learn more at www.tech-week.com.
