Venue

Keynote or executive session

The premise

The SaaS industry was built on a durable assumption: custom software was expensive to build and worse to maintain. AI moved the line. This talk looks at which software businesses survive, which contracts become hard to defend, and what operators should do with the new math.

Audience leaves with

  1. A practical rent-versus-own framework for business software.
  2. The SaaS moats that still hold: proprietary data, network effects, and genuine workflow lock-in.
  3. How operators, software founders, and investors can respond while the economics are still moving.
