Virtual Summit

The FinOps Governance Playbook for Cloud & AI Infrastructure

Cloud optimization has matured. Most organizations have captured the big wins — reserved instances, idle compute, basic rightsizing. But the next wave of cloud spend is already here, and it’s moving faster than traditional approaches can keep up with.

April, 16th - 11:00 AM EST / 17:00 CEST

AI infrastructure is scaling across every layer of the cloud, GPUs, foundation models, training pipelines, inference endpoints, bringing new cost pressures and governance challenges that no established playbook covers yet. As the easy savings disappear, proactive policy and governance become the essential foundation for continuously capturing and preventing waste at scale.

The teams getting ahead are discovering, fixing, and preventing issues before they compound, translating leadership intent into tactical cloud policies, extending governance frameworks into AI workloads, and using automation to act at a speed and consistency no manual workflow can match. Continuous optimization isn’t a project. It’s a practice.

And the horizon is excellent possible before.

This virtual summit brings together FinOps practitioners, cloud and platform engineers, and industry thought leaders to share what proactive, continuous optimization and governance actually looks like in practice, across core cloud infrastructure and the AI workloads being built on top of it right now.

Practical. Forward-looking. Grounded in what real teams are doing today.
