Hear how top Philly tech execs are driving innovation while managing tighter budgets, leaner teams, and greater risks
About this Event

As we head into Q4, tech leaders everywhere are juggling a tricky balance: keep innovating while budgets tighten, teams get leaner, and risks keep growing. From figuring out where AI actually drives value to making sure every project delivers real ROI, CIOs, CTOs, and senior leaders are being challenged to do more with less — and do it smarter.

That’s exactly what we’ll be digging into at this Tech in Motion Leadership Roundtable + Networking Night at Mindspace Wanamaker. Expect a candid, peer-driven conversation with Philly’s top tech leaders, plus plenty of opportunities to connect, swap ideas, and grow your local network.



What You’ll Walk Away With:
  • Smart Cost Optimization – how to drive efficiency without stalling transformation
  • The AI Balancing Act – what it really looks like to scale AI responsibly
  • Innovation Under Pressure – making smart bets with limited resourcing
  • Project Governance – ensuring ROI and knowing when to stop what’s not working



Who You’ll Hear From:
  • Beth Finn, Program Director @ Elsevier
  • RJ Kedziora, Co-Founder & COO @ Estenda Solutions
  • + more voices from Philly’s tech leadership community

Bring your questions, your perspective, and your business cards — it’ll be a great night of learning, sharing, and networking with fellow tech leaders across industries.
