Scaling AI Beyond The Memory Wall

Inside The Context Memory Revolution

The AI memory wall is real — and paired with GPU inefficiency, it’s costing enterprises much more than they realize in performance, scale, and dollars. The context memory revolution is rewriting what agentic AI systems can deliver: persistent context, faster inference, and greater value from every compute dollar spent.

Join WEKA‘s Chief AI Officer Val Bercovici and AI Field CTO Alan McSeveney for an exclusive evening of dialogue on what it takes to scale AI inference beyond the memory bottleneck. ​This private gathering is designed for C-level executives, infrastructure innovators, and technology leaders shaping what’s next for AI.

Why attend?

  • The AI memory wall: what it is, why it matters, and how to solve for it
  • Why context memory is the new currency of agentic AI
  • Squeezing more from every GPU: smarter utilization & compute efficiency
  • Scaling inference and closing the gap between POC & production
  • How to win on ROI as AI tokenomics shift

This exclusive roundtable offers a rare opportunity to rethink your AI strategy and future-proof your infrastructure. Join us in New York for a high-level discussion on building the foundation for the next era of AI.

What is the event about?

This private executive dinner explores how to scale AI inference beyond the memory bottleneck. The discussion focuses on the AI memory wall, GPU efficiency, context memory in agentic systems, and how to move from proof of concept to production with measurable ROI.

Who should attend this Executive Dinner?

This gathering is curated for CIOs, CTOs, Chief AI Officers, infrastructure leaders, and technology decision-makers responsible for AI strategy, data architecture, and compute investments.

Why should I attend?

You’ll gain strategic insight into:

  • Solving the AI memory wall challenge
  • Improving GPU utilization and inference efficiency
  • Unlocking persistent context in agentic AI systems
  • Aligning infrastructure decisions with evolving AI economics

This is a high-level, peer-driven dialogue — not a sales presentation.
