Upcoming Talks
12 May 2026
Every board is asking how product teams are using AI, while designers, engineers and data scientists juggle fatigue, fragmented experiments and legacy stacks. Using BuzzFeed’s AI journey across news, entertainment and subscriptions as a case study, Christina opens a cross functional discussion on turning AI pressure into shippable value across consumer products, internal tooling and subscription growth.
Outcomes:
- Share concrete ways to turn vague AI mandates into sharp, fundable problem statements
- Identify how early adopter tinkerers can de risk AI change and influence sceptical teams
- Compare approaches for deciding when AI experiments stay as prototypes and when to invest in platform change
- Design new rituals across product, design and engineering so AI work flows into production, not just slide decks
