The last moat: Why the AI feature isn't your competitive advantage, and what actually is
Two years of enterprise AI deployments revealed something unexpected: the companies moving fastest on AI weren't pulling ahead. They were converging, building the same features, facing the same adoption challenges, running the same playbooks as their competitors. AI didn't create differentiation. It compressed it. Drawing on real agentic deployments across Fortune 50 companies and high-growth teams, this keynote challenges the assumptions most product roadmaps are still built on, and makes the case that durable advantage in an AI-native world comes not from what you build, but from the judgment you apply when building it. The AI feature is not your moat. This talk is about what is.

Interactive roundtables
This interactive roundtable session brings Chief Product Officers together for in-depth, peer-led discussions on the most pressing challenges facing product leaders today. Attendees will choose a table hosted by an experienced CPO speaker, each focused on a specific strategic topic. Each roundtable runs for 45 minutes and is designed to be conversational rather than presentational. Speakers will guide discussion with a small group of 10–20 peers, encouraging open dialogue, shared experiences, and practical takeaways. Expect candid conversations, real-world insights, and the opportunity to learn directly from fellow product leaders facing similar challenges at scale. Topics include: - Scaling High-Performing Product Teams Without Losing Focus (Vinod Suresh) - Organizing in the Age of AI: balancing velocity, foundational investment, and future bets (Siddharth Shroff) - Speed vs trust (shipping AI without breaking user confidence) (Ivan Galea) - Vibe Coding: Balancing Flow, Focus, and Product Outcomes (Dan Olsen)
