AI Is Moving Fast. But Who’s Moving With You?

Every week, another AI launch drops. Faster models, new agents, better workflows.
But tech is only half the story.
The other half is who you’re building with. The peers who’ll test your prototype, the mentor who’ll cut months off your go-to-market, the investor who sees the signal before the crowd. That’s the edge. That’s what this community delivers.

From Idea to Impact at the AI Innovators Forum

What really turns an idea into impact?
Sometimes it’s a founder’s leap of faith. Other times, an investor’s conviction. Often, it’s the quiet choices execs make to push AI beyond hype and into reality.

At this edition of the AI Innovators Forum with Intercom Inc., you’ll hear those unfiltered stories, direct from the people building, scaling, and funding AI.

On stage:

• Jeff Wang (CEO, Windsurf) with Mala Ramakrishnan; a fireside on founder grit.

• VCs Shalini Sardana and Rohit Gupta on where capital is flowing next.

• Execs from TCS, Protegrity, and Invoca on making AI stick inside enterprises.

• Founders pitching what’s next: from AI compliance to consumer trust.

• Short, sharp perspectives from community leaders at Intuit, B.E.L.L.E., Unbound, and more.
