Tech Execs Track @ Google Cloud Summit

Let's take a moment to look back on our recent Tech Execs Meetup, a closed track for senior tech leaders held as part of Google Cloud Summit Prague. The theme was the shift already underway in engineering leadership: as autonomous AI takes on more of the work, leaders are increasingly evaluating agents alongside people, and the day brought together candid conversations about what that actually changes. It opened with a fireside chat with David Pavlík (CPO at BottleCap AI) on what it means to lead product in the age of autonomous AI and how the bar for evaluation is shifting, followed by Šimon Kautzký (Frontend Engineering Manager at STRV) on agentic orchestration and easing the cognitive load that has turned us into the bottleneck. After lunch, Peter Malina (CTPO at Navigara) and Adam Sobotka (CTO at Meiro) took the panel to ask whether the old metrics for developer performance still hold up when AI is part of the workflow. Marek Bražina (Google) followed with a practical demo of Antigravity and the tools around it, and Pavel Čech (Partner at Sedlakova Legal) closed with legal insights on how the AI Act really applies to your product and where the risks lie. As part of the wider Summit, the day carried on into open networking and sessions well beyond our track. Thank you to everyone who joined us.
