ClearPoint is bringing together a group of Auckland's engineering leaders for an exclusive lunch focused on AI-enabled software delivery — what's working, what it takes to make adoption stick, and where the real opportunities sit at enterprise scale.
Designed for engineering and technology leaders, this event is an opportunity to hear how organisations have moved from experimenting with AI to making it part of how they deliver — from measurable gains in velocity and quality through to team readiness, governance, and the organisational change required to make it effective.
Led by Rob Cleghorn (CTO, ClearPoint) alongside Mel Lee (Director of Digital, FW), Anlien Van Wyk (Engineering Chapter Lead – Loyalty, Woolworths), and Shannon Evans (Head of Digital Technology – Loyalty, Woolworths), the conversation will draw on real-world applications of AI — from a government-funded grants platform delivered in seven weeks to engineers achieving up to 70%+ acceleration — to explore what's driven results and the foundations required to sustain them.
Event details:
- Date: 29 April 2026
- Time: 12:00 PM – 2:00 PM
- Venue: Hotel Britomart, Auckland CBD
- Format: Panel discussion over a two-course lunch
By coming along, you’ll walk away with:
- A practical understanding of where to apply AI across the software lifecycle for the biggest impact on velocity and quality
- What 70%+ engineering acceleration actually requires — the foundations, governance, and team conditions that make it possible
- Approaches to moving from experimentation to structured adoption that you can apply to your own organisation
- Insight into the friction points that shape enterprise adoption — team readiness, security, governance — and how others have worked through them
Spaces are limited to ensure a focused, high-quality discussion. Registration closes when capacity is reached.
