About the Evening

An Intimate Conversation About What's Really Happening in AI Infrastructure

Join Apica for an intimate evening in the heart of Charlotte designed for the people doing the real work: the engineers, architects, and operations leaders responsible for building infrastructure that can actually support AI.

Apica Ascent Night brings together a small, focused group for honest conversation, practical insights, and a clear look at what it really means to be Agentic-Ready in 2026. Over great food and drinks, we'll dig into how infrastructure teams are preparing for AI agents in production — and where most organizations are still falling short.

What to Expect

Designed To Be Useful — Not Just Another Event

You'll hear directly from Apica's CPTO Andi Mann on where AI infrastructure is heading, see live product demos built around real customer scenarios, and spend the rest of the evening talking with peers facing the same operational challenges — from rising observability costs to AI‑driven complexity.

Not a brochure. Practical ideas you can bring back to your team the next morning.

The gap between enterprises that thrive with AI and those that struggle comes down to data readiness. Agentic-Ready isn't a product feature — it's an infrastructure decision you make now.
