AI Compact Open Circle: Leaders Putting AI to Work

AI Compact Open Circle: Leaders Putting AI to Work

Wednesday, October 7, 2026 · 5:30–7:30 PM EDT · Tysons, Virginia

Free to attend · Application and acceptance required

Join Anoop Mehendale and AI Compact for an evening with business owners, executives, and leaders responsible for putting AI into practice across Northern Virginia, Washington, DC, and Maryland.

Bring an initiative you are leading, a decision you are weighing, or an experience others can learn from. We will compare what is working, explore the obstacles to adoption, and make time to get to know the people doing this work across different organizations.

The evening combines facilitated discussion and peer exchange around practical questions: where AI can create value, what it takes to move beyond experimentation, and how leaders bring their teams with them.

The people in the room

We select participants for the relevance of their work in leading AI adoption and the perspective they bring. Practitioners and specialists are welcome alongside business leaders. Participants come to share experience and learn; sales pitches and unsolicited promotion are not part of the evening.

Your introduction to AI Compact

Open Circle is the free, application-based event series of AI Compact. Membership is not required to attend.

For those who want to go deeper, we are developing a paid AI Compact membership with exclusive events, a more focused peer community, practical content, and additional member benefits. Details will be shared ahead of launch.

Founded and hosted by Anoop Mehendale

Anoop hosts AI Compact through Cue Insights, bringing experience as a technology founder and senior business leader. The Compact grew from his conversations with executives looking for practical perspectives and stronger relationships as they put AI to work.
