Beyond the Pilot

A private dinner and roundtable for US operating, technology and data leaders — on the AI that actually made it into production.

Nearly every enterprise now has a wall of AI pilots. Far fewer have AI running in the business, owned by someone, with a number attached to it. That gap — not the technology — is the interesting conversation right now.

So we are keeping this small: fourteen seats around one table, at Morton's The Steakhouse, 1001 McKinney St., Houston, TX 77002. No slides and no vendor pitch. Just peers comparing what shipped, what stalled, and what it cost to find out.

We are running the same table in London a fortnight later. Houston is the US edition — focused on the realities of taking AI into production, demonstrating measurable business value, and navigating the operational challenges of scaling AI across the enterprise.

From Pilot to P&L – Identifying AI use cases that have successfully reached production and what enabled their success.

  • AI ROI & Business Value – Understanding what's delivering measurable returns, what isn't, and how success is measured.
  • Agentic AI & Operating Models – Exploring how autonomous AI is transforming business operations, decision-making and workforce structures.
  • Data Readiness & Challenges – Addressing data quality, accessibility and infrastructure barriers preventing AI adoption at scale.
  • AI Governance, Risk & Security – Balancing responsible AI deployment, compliance and security without slowing innovation.

Following my brief for a roundtable targeting ‘CRM for the luxury sector’, Nic’s team was quick to secure a full house of participants matching our ideal Buyer Persona. I was impressed by the speed of cold outreach and their communication cadence with participants. The event host, Andrew, had clearly built rapport with participants in advance, and as a result, facilitated the technology discussion and individual contributions with ease. All participants who attended agreed to a follow-up meeting after the event, so I was delighted to have the opportunity to meet individuals separately. If you’re new to running this type of event, I recommend speaking to the experienced, personable team at Convergex.
