Some AI decisions are easier to discuss when the room is small enough for the answer to stay off the record. The Information and EY Consulting are hosting an invitation-only dinner in San Francisco on November 9 for CTOs, chief AI officers, CIOs and adjacent executive leaders.
The Information founder and editor-in-chief Jessica Lessin and EY Americas Vice Chair for Consulting Whitt Butler will lead the conversation. The program is designed around the technology, operating and governance questions executives are carrying as AI moves from experiment into institutional infrastructure.
A public panel rewards the answer that travels. An executive dinner can make room for the decision that is still being tested. That distinction matters when companies are deciding where AI belongs, what data it can reach and who remains accountable when the system acts.
The useful signal will live in the questions leaders are willing to surface before the organization has settled on a position. Those questions often reveal the architecture, risk and operating work that comes before the next announcement.
Invitation requests are subject to organizer approval.
