​🌊 Zen Conversations: Agentic AI Leadership

​Riding the Wave of Autonomous Intelligence
🍸 Cocktails & Candid Conversations | 🎟️ Invite Only

Join engineering and technical leaders across enterprise orgs, scale ups and high growth start ups for a relaxed, insightful evening on how AI agents are redefining modern software teams.

​Hosted by Zencoder this intimate gathering is designed to cut through the AI hype and focus on how autonomous agents are already shaping team velocity, architecture, and leadership strategy.

​You’ll hear from leaders who are hands-on with the latest in agent orchestration, AI Engineering, and human-in-the-loop decision design.

Most notably Andrew Filev — Founder of Zencoder & Wrike (acq. $2.5B) who bootstrapped, scaled, and sold his last company for billions, Andrew will share what he did differently, why he’s betting it all again on AI coding agents, and how the nature of software teams will radically evolve in the coming years. Expect raw insights, frameworks, and future-proof thinking.
