Tabletalks – SaaStock

The conversations software leaders don't have on stage

Where operators compare what’s changing right now.

New for 2026, Tabletalks are small, closed-group roundtable discussions for AI & B2B software companies, where founders and senior leaders openly share what’s actually happening inside their companies as AI reshapes software.

Tabletalks at SaaStock USA will be the largest roundtable program for the AI & B2B software community in the US, enabling AI & B2B software attendees to network and learn from each other like never before.

What is a Tabletalk?

5-8 operators. 1 problem. 50 minutes.

Not just listening to opinions, but comparing live experiments.

Individuals can join up to 2 Tabletalks and pick from multiple topics that cover some of AI & B2B software’s most pressing challenges and opportunities.

Why they matter now

The hardest questions in software don’t have public answers:

When does your product become an AI feature?
Should you charge for AI or include it?
What churn signals are new?
Are customers consolidating tools?
What are buyers actually asking in deals?

Tabletalks offer a unique setting to find the answers with peer-to-peer discussions.

Come with a question you’re actively struggling with. Leave with tested approaches, mistakes to avoid and perspective.

How to build, deploy and manage AI agents for real ROI
