SUMMARY:The Great AI Debate
DESCRIPTION:Join the Austin Forum for a high-energy mock debate featuring some of Austin’s top technology\, business\, and community leaders. Moving beyond simple “pro vs. con” rhetoric\, this event will use a competitive format to tackle the most pressing questions of the year\, including the possibility of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)\, the true economic ROI of enterprise AI\, the societal impact of AI and workforce transformation\, and the cultural impact of synthetic media on human creativity. A core focus of the session is the “Governance Paradox”—the tension between the urgent need for rapid innovation and the ethical concerns related to safety and privacy. This interactive\, intellectual competition concludes with a networking reception for attendees to further discuss these issues with the debaters and each other.

SUMMARY:GILD: Speed as an AI Advantage
DESCRIPTION:​Speed as an AI Advantage\n​How execution speed is shaping competitive advantage in AI\, where hesitation is costing learning or talent\, and how leaders pressure-test pace without creating organizational chaos. \n​GILD Roundtable for CEOs and Founders in Austin\, TX\nDate: Tuesday\, April 14th\, 2026\nTime: 6:00 – 8:30 pm \n​Curated for senior operators. \n​About the Event\n​AI strategy is no longer about whether to move. It is about how fast. \n​In 2026\, competitive advantage is increasingly determined by execution speed. Teams that ship faster learn faster. Companies that experiment earlier compound insight. Talent gravitates toward environments where decisions turn into action quickly. \n​This roundtable brings together CEOs and founders navigating that tension in real time. Not in theory. In live operating environments\, where headcount\, capital\, and reputation are on the line. \n​The Curated Circuit Format\n​GILD is intentionally small and highly curated. \n​This is a private\, off-the-record exchange under Chatham House Rules.\nNo panels. No pitches. No demos. \n​After a short framing segment\, the room moves into rotating micro-roundtables. Every table discusses the same prompt each round. Groups rotate so you meet a meaningful cross-section of the room.

SUMMARY:ATC April Roundtable Breakfast
DESCRIPTION:Humans + AI: Building Teams that Outthink\, not just Outperform\nNavigating the Intersection of Human Intent and AI Agency (The Workplace Angle). In an era of “tool overload\,” leaders face a high-stakes balancing act between driving efficiency and preserving the human ingenuity that defines their brand. This session provides a roadmap for managers to integrate agentic AI without eroding team morale or sacrificing critical thinking.\n\nClosing Takeaway\n“The goal of AI integration isn’t to remove the human from the loop\, but to elevate the human to a higher loop.” The audience should leave understanding that the “right choice” isn’t about which tool has the best API\, but which tool reinforces their team’s sense of agency and expertise rather than replacing it.\n\nSpeaker: Sridhar Sudarsan\n\nSridhar Sudarsan\, Chief AI Strategist at EX Squared\, is a distinguished technologist\, executive leader\, entrepreneur\, investor\, and AI futurist\, currently serving as the founder of an advisory practice helping organizations deploy AI at scale and drive transformational business outcomes. Over the past three decades\, he has led intrapreneurial initiatives for Fortune 500 companies and scaled AI start-ups. As the former CTO at IBM Watson Platform and Partnerships and Avathon\, Sudarsan has pioneered AI strategies across energy\, manufacturing\, aerospace and defense and health sectors.  He also serves as Adjunct Professor for Machine Learning at the University of Southampton.\nJoin us for this event \n8:30 – 10:00 at Calavista Software. \nREGISTER NOW\nSponsor:  CLA
