CTO Lunch May 2026

The May installment of CTO Lunch NYC will be back at the incredibly beautiful Lulla NYC on West 24th (with pretty much every train line within a couple blocks.) 

As we did last month, we will have a generous sponsor picking up the tab, and on hand to discuss their offering. 

Don't miss the best high-level tech conversation and great food for technology professionals!

CTO Lunch brings together senior technology leaders for an agenda-free lunch focused on real operational and strategic conversations. CTOs, VPs of Engineering, technical founders, and senior architects talking candidly about what’s actually happening inside their organizations.
Recent lunches have revolved around:
• AI adoption versus AI reality
• Infrastructure resilience and vendor risk
• Org design in the age of copilots
• Hiring calibration at senior levels
• Cost discipline after the growth years
The format remains simple: a shared table, great food, and serious operators comparing notes. The discussion goes wherever the room takes it.
Check out some of the past conversations.
