Private dinner: The New Tech Talent Equation | Leaders deciding what to build in-house, who to hire, and when to bring in external experts

AI is changing what engineering teams need to deliver, and the expectations on technical talent are shifting with it. Strong coding skills still matter, but today's best engineers are also expected to bring business context, product judgment, and the ability to work alongside AI in practical ways.

That creates a real question for technology leaders: what should be built in-house, who should be hired, and when does it make sense to bring in outside expertise?

This private dinner opens #SFTechWeek in Palo Alto, bringing together senior leaders at companies with 300+ employees and Series B+ startups who influence decisions about engineering talent, team growth, and technical partnerships.

The conversation will focus on what's actually working:

• How team capabilities are evolving
• Which skills are becoming most valuable
• How leaders are balancing internal teams, new hires, and external expertise

Hosted by Bayteq, the evening offers a moment to share practical lessons, compare approaches, and build meaningful connections over dinner in a featured restaurant in SF.

📍 Location shared upon registration.
