What this is
A peer network, not a conference.
AI Cloud Circle is for the people running AI and cloud at scale. We gather in small, curated groups so leaders can compare notes off the record.
There is no membership platform and no general sign-up. Each gathering is its own invitation, built around a city, a format, and a room of peers.
Attendance is capped and reviewed. If a room is not right for you, we say so.
This is for
- C-level and senior technical leaders
- Founders building AI, cloud, and infrastructure companies
- Heads of engineering and infrastructure at scale
- Operators accountable for compute and cloud spend
What to expect
What the format actually is.
Every gathering runs the same way, whether it is a dinner for twenty or a day event for sixty.
- 01
Twenty people, one table
Dinners seat about twenty. Day events cap at sixty. Everyone in the room can speak, and most do.
- 02
Operators, not vendors
The room is CTOs, CIOs, founders, and infrastructure leads. No sponsor slots, no product pitches, no stage.
- 03
Specifics, off the record
The Chatham House Rule means people name real numbers: migration costs, model spend, what broke and what it took to fix.
What gets discussed
The subject matter.
Agendas are set by the room. These are the themes that come up in almost every city.
- AI in production
- What it takes to move models from a working demo to a system the business depends on, and what breaks first.
- Cloud at scale
- Where multi-cloud commitments help and where they quietly cost more than the leverage they buy.
- Compute and capacity
- How teams secure GPU capacity, what they pay for it, and when reserved capacity beats on-demand.
- Token economics
- What inference actually costs at scale, and how that number changes the build-versus-buy decision.
- Infrastructure and platform
- How platform teams are staffed and measured when every workload is now an AI workload.
Who is in the room
Past gatherings have included leaders from
Attendance is not published. This is an indicative composition, drawn from previous rooms rather than a guest list.
- Cloud and platform engineering leaders from listed technology companies
- Founders and CTOs of venture-backed AI and infrastructure companies
- Finance and engineering leaders accountable for eight-figure cloud spend
