GTM Engineering Leaders & Startups | SF Tech Week

In San Francisco for SF Tech Week, presented by a16z? Join us in Union Square for an afternoon focused on the leaders and startups building the modern go-to-market stack.

GTM Engineering is becoming a leadership discipline.

Join AI Product Accelerator and Twill for candid conversation and meaningful connections with the people building modern go-to-market systems. We’re bringing together GTM engineering leaders, founders, growth and revenue operators, product builders, and startups working at the intersection of AI, automation, data, and distribution.

Expect practical perspectives, thoughtful peers, and the kind of small-room conversations that continue well after the event.
