Adoption of AI coding tools exploded this year and the pressure is on: boards and CEOs are asking senior software leaders whether they’re getting the 30% productivity boost everyone is talking about. The hard part is that measuring the impact of AI coding tools turns out to be even harder than measuring developer productivity itself.

That’s why we’re hosting an expert-led session to give engineering leaders the clarity and tools they need right now.


This two-hour, high-impact mini-conference has:

  • A DORA researcher presents recent findings on how high-performing teams are adopting AI-assisted development, what’s changing in their workflows, and which metrics actually correlate with better outcomes.

  • Two CTOs sharing how they are measuring AI tools in their own organizations: the utilization, quality, and satisfaction metrics they chose, what surprised them, and how they handle non-code work.

  • A moderated discussion among CTOs and attendees to surface and answer key questions.

You’ll learn:

  • What metrics leading organizations are using and what tooling can help you capture them.

  • How to find where your team sits on the AI adoption curve - and what to do if you’re behind.

  • Where AI tools create hidden value that doesn’t show up as “more code.”

This is the first time the LA CTO Forum has opened one of its online sessions to a broader audience! Come join fellow CTOs, VPEs, heads of engineering, senior product leaders, and IT leaders who want a clear, reality-based view of how to measure AI coding tools in the real world.

Register today to reserve your spot and you'll be on your way to leading with clarity.
