/ About this event
AI is changing what engineering teams need to deliver, and the expectations on technical talent are shifting with it. Strong coding skills still matter, but today's best engineers are also expected to bring business context, product judgment, and the ability to work alongside AI in practical ways.
That creates a real question for technology leaders: what should be built in-house, who should be hired, and when does it make sense to bring in outside expertise?
This private dinner opens #SFTechWeek in Palo Alto, bringing together senior leaders at companies with 300+ employees and Series B+ startups who influence decisions about engineering talent, team growth, and technical partnerships.
The conversation will focus on what's actually working: • How team capabilities are evolving • What do you look for before engaging a technology partner? • How leaders are balancing internal teams, new hires, and external expertise
Hosted by Bayteq, the evening offers a moment to share practical lessons, compare approaches, and build meaningful connections over dinner in a featured restaurant in Palo Alto.
