AMA

This is not a regular conference.

It’s a 2-day sprint for leaders who want to stay ahead of AI and understand how modern GTM is built. No fluffy panels. No recycled keynotes.

Real conversations with operators building AI-native teams. What they automate. What they protect as human.
Where AI creates leverage - and where it doesn’t.

Yes, you can expense this. Most attendees put it on the company card. You should too 😉

Need approval? Share this doc with your boss, it lays out  why ChiliPalooza is worth attending.

See you there!
