Description

Join us for a "fireside chat style presentation" with one of our customers! As organizations race to adopt AI, many are optimizing for speed – faster code generation, faster deployment, faster results. But like marathon runners who burn out early, this sprint mindset can lead to fragile systems, compliance gaps, and long-term risk. In this fireside chat, Erik Brown of Nelnet shares how his team is pacing AI adoption for endurance – balancing developer velocity with governance, and innovation with accountability. We’ll explore what it takes to build AI systems that perform not just at launch, but over the long run, in an increasingly agentic and regulated environment.
