🤖 Code is Cheap, Moats are Hard: Winning the New Software Battleground
📅 Saturday, June 6, 2026 | 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM
🎤 A blunt panel on what happens when AI collapses the distance between business intent and working software — how executives compress roadmaps, where founders can still attack legacy players, and what counts as a moat now.
🎙️ Panelists: Gus Spathis (Founder & CEO, Xogito), Kayan Mishra (Mudita Studios), Rob Bailey (DataSift, Kustomer, CrewAI), Paul Trapani (Co-Founder PassTech Development, President of LISTnet), and Adam Pleasant (CEO, The Outcome Company). No vendor pitches, no sci-fi hype.
