BlueThread Event

BlueThread Leadership Dinner & Roundtable - San Carlos

May 6, 20266:00pm - 9:00pmSan Carlos, CA

An intimate, curated dinner for senior partnership and alliance leaders navigating partner-led growth in 2026. No panels, no pitches — just sharp people, honest dialogue, and a tight guest list by design.

We dove into how AI is impacting everyone's business: what's working, what's not, and where teams are still figuring it out. The conversations were candid, and that candor is the point. Trust gets built when leaders share what's really happening, not just the wins, and this group did exactly that.

Thanks to WorkSpan and ZINFI for sponsoring the evening.
