Uber CTO Praveen Neppalli Naga joins StrictlyVC SF speaker lineup on April 30 to discuss managing large tech operations amid AI boom

Uber's Chief Technology Officer Praveen Neppalli Naga has been added to the speaker roster for StrictlyVC San Francisco, a TechCrunch conference taking place April 30, 2024 at the Sentro Filipino Cultural Center. He will speak on the topic of operating at scale during the AI era.

The event brings together tech executives and investors to discuss how established companies like Uber are adapting their engineering and infrastructure to manage AI systems that process billions of requests daily — rather than treating AI as a standalone feature, but as a foundational layer of how large platforms actually run.

For business professionals and startup founders, hearing from Uber's CTO matters because Uber operates one of the world's largest real-time computing systems. His talk will likely surface practical constraints and tradeoffs that only become visible when you're running AI at the scale of millions of concurrent users — information typically trapped inside big tech companies and rarely shared publicly.
