Denver AI: Private AI vs. Public AI Featuring Jon Nordmark, CEO of Iterate.ai

AUG26
16:00
  • This event discusses the roles of private and public AI in business, featuring Jon Nordmark, CEO of Iterate.ai.
  • It targets professionals interested in how AI technology shapes modern enterprises.
  • Attendees will explore different AI approaches and their implications for organizations.

About this event

Artificial Intelligence is quickly becoming the operating system of modern business. But as organizations rush to adopt AI, one critical question is moving to the top of every executive agenda:
Should your company rely on public AI... or build a private AI strategy?

Join Denver AI for our August event as we welcome Jon Nordmark, CEO of Iterate.ai, for an eye-opening discussion on one of the most important AI decisions businesses will make over the next decade.

Public AI platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok have transformed how millions of people work every day. They're fast, powerful, and remarkably capable.
But they're not always the right answer.

As companies begin integrating AI into customer experiences, internal operations, software development, and proprietary workflows, concerns around security, privacy, governance, intellectual property, and compliance become impossible to ignore.

So where should organizations draw the line?

This session will explore the tradeoffs between public and private AI, helping business leaders understand when each approach makes sense—and how to avoid costly mistakes.

### What You'll Learn

The real differences between Public AI and Private AI
When public models are the right choice—and when they aren't
Protecting company data, intellectual property, and customer information
The business case for building secure AI solutions
How leading organizations are approaching enterprise AI adoption
Practical frameworks for making AI decisions inside your business

Building Resilient Systems in the Age of Agentic Development

Punch Bowl Social, Denver, United States
In person

AI coding has fundamentally changed how software is written and improvements are real. Tools like Claude Code and Cursor speed up developer velocity and change how we approach software engineering. However, as AI is writing more code than ever, testing and verification are the new bottlenecks. Join Antithesis for a curated evening with engineers, development and infrastructure leaders exploring how teams can build resilient distributed systems while adopting faster, more autonomous software development workflows. As AI-assisted and agent-generated code accelerate the pace of change, correctness and resilience can no longer be left to conventional testing alone. These events will bring together practitioners to discuss how leading teams are approaching failure testing, distributed systems reliability, observability, and pre-production validation. Schedule for the event: 6:00 - 6:30pm: Drinks, Food, and Networking. 6:30 - 7:30pm: Building Resilient Systems Presentation led by Antithesis' very own Adrian Hatch! 7:30pm - til close: Bowling, Games, and fun. Are you and your team stretched thin because you are dealing with more and larger PRs, and spend most of your time doing code reviews? Are your agents writing tests that mostly cover the obvious path, but fail to find the real bugs affecting your customers? Are you and your team still hunting for subtle, hard-to-find bugs despite the use of AI? If you are looking to increase your productivity and want a more rigorous approach to finding, reproducing, and fixing bugs that slip past conventional testing, we would love to have you join us. Space is limited. Please register NOW!
