What to Expect
May's Featured Speaker: Hosted at Apptegy
How Apptegy Uses AI to Run Better Teams
This isn't a "here's what AI could do" talk—it's what they're doing today across leadership, product, and engineering. At our next AI InTheRock meetup at Apptegy, Zach (SVP of Engineering) opens with real day-to-day workflows, then the team shows how that practice spreads across departments and how they've built a model-agnostic system for product, engineering, and design—not just for speed, but for clearer handoffs and sharper thinking about what work is becoming.
Whether you're still experimenting or already integrating AI, you'll leave with ideas you can use immediately—and a clearer sense of what it looks like when an org commits to operating differently.
