TechTuesday: A Fireside Chat with Shegun Otulana & Will Blackburn

May 19, 2026 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM (CDT)

Description

Join TechBirmingham for our next TechTuesday on May 19th from 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM at Regions Auditorium. Lunch will be provided.

This month’s program features a fireside chat with Shegun Otulana, CEO and Founder of Harmony Venture Labs, and Will Blackburn,  Founder & Board Member of Birmingham AI.

This candid fireside chat will explore one of the most pressing tensions in business today: teams are adopting AI rapidly at the individual level, while leadership is still working to translate that momentum into real, organization-wide capability.

This conversation will cut through the noise and focus on what's happening inside companies right now - what's working, what's breaking, and what decisions leaders need to make to move from experimentation to execution.
