Skip the slides. In this facilitated discussion, three experienced architects work through real-world (and real-world inspired) AI scenarios live on a shared whiteboard — with you. For each scenario, we'll whiteboard the architecture as a room, debating the considerations that make or break enterprise AI systems: security, identity, scaling, resiliency, token management, cost, and governance. Bring your questions, your skepticism, and your own war stories. You'll see how experienced architects reason through trade-offs in real time, disagree productively, and converge on workable designs — and you'll leave with patterns you can apply to your own AI initiatives.

You will learn:

  • How to decompose an AI scenario into its core architectural concerns (security, identity, scaling, resiliency, token management)
  • How experienced architects evaluate trade-offs and reach design decisions when there's no single right answer
  • Reusable architectural patterns and questions to ask when designing your own enterprise AI solutions
