TechTalk x Wavestone: an evening for senior data & AI practitioners - real talk on scaling AI to production. London, 14 May. Apply now.
About this Event

We're bringing the TechTalk community together with Wavestone for an evening built for the people who've done the technical work, and learned, often the hard way, that delivery is only half the job.

​The best data and AI initiatives combine technical excellence with effective engagement with business teams and leaders. Scaling AI solutions in production is challenging, but needed to achieve results that C-suite will care about. Success is not just building a technically excellent solution, it requires Business Change to raise awareness, drive behaviour change, adjust to the new ways of working.

This is an evening for the practitioners who already know that. And want to be in a room with others who do too.

πŸ“† Thursday, 14 May 2026
πŸ•• 6:00 – 9:00 PM
πŸ“ Wavestone Office

Who this event is for:

πŸ‘‰ Data & AI engineers and architects who have 4+ years of experience, leading or shaping programmes. You’ve helped scale beyond pilots, to real value in production.
πŸ‘‰ Specialists familiar with building AI solutions in large organisations, using enterprise platforms such as AWS Bedrock, Microsoft Foundry, Google Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, and Databricks
πŸ‘‰ Technical consultants and senior practitioners who've had to explain a data strategy to a CFO, present a roadmap to a steering committee, or rescue a pilot that was heading for the shelf


What you get when you attend:

🎀 Honest talks from Wavestone's delivery leads
Real stories from the programmes that made it to production, and the ones that nearly didn't

πŸ“Š A client credential walkthrough, no PR gloss
Actual projects, told honestly. What the problem was, what they built, what went wrong, and how they measured impact at board level

🧠 Data trends grounded in delivery reality
What's changing across enterprise AI stacks, and what’s still blocking scale.

πŸ• Food, drinks & good vibes
Because no good conversation ever started on an empty stomach.

πŸ“Έ Post-event highlights & follow-ups
We’ll share a recap, resources, and next steps after the event.
