A private dinner series for operating partners, value creation leaders, and executives building AI into the core of their business. 12 seats, one hard question, and nobody selling anything.
Most AI conversations happen on stages and in vendor decks. They cover the demo and skip the part that decides whether it works: the data you actually have, the governance that slows everything down, and the moment someone asks what it costs to own.
So we put a small group of people who’ve made those calls around one table. No recording, no slides, and nobody keeping score. You compare notes with the person holding your job somewhere else, and you leave knowing what they’d do differently.
Chatham House throughout. No recordings, no press, nobody posting about it after. Say as much or as little as you want. What gets said here stays here.
Nobody's selling anything, and that includes us. XTAM hosts the table; we don't present at it. If a partner joins, they come as a practitioner.
No panels, no slides, no keynote. There's no audience because everyone at the table is part of the conversation.
Each dinner is built around a single question, picked because everyone in the room is already dealing with it.
Our guests are operating partners and value creation leads at private equity firms, and the CEOs, CPOs, CIOs, and CTOs running the companies they back. People who get asked what AI is doing for the P&L, and have to answer.
We keep it to 12 seats and mix the table on purpose. The investor sees what the operator is up against, the operator hears how the board is thinking, and both leave with a clearer picture.
Operating partners and C-suite leaders from Finalsite, Arcfield, Aptim, Olo, 65 Equity Partners, Pelham Street Capital, and Apax, around one table at AVRA.
The conversation centered on why avoiding customization often isn't the low-risk choice it looks like, and what it takes to move from pilot to a real revenue line.
We spend our days building and deploying production AI with our clients. The most useful thing we’ve found isn’t a framework or a case study. It’s an hour with someone who already made the decision you’re about to make.
These dinners make that happen on purpose.
XTAM is a strategic AI partner that helps organizations turn intent into impact across the full AI lifecycle. We meet clients where they are, from first ideas to stalled pilots, and design, build, and deploy production-grade AI systems aligned to real business outcomes.
These dinners aren’t a sales pitch. We host the table because the conversation makes all of us better at the work.
