Join us at the FinOps Madrid Meetup for an afternoon focused on the practical side of saving money in the cloud, without making life harder for your team.
We’ll dive into Reserved Instances, Savings Plans, and the everyday decisions that can quietly shape your cloud bill.

18:45 - Welcome
Brief welcome to the community, attendee check-in, and an overview of the meetup format and the talks.
19:00 - Automated FinOps is your next competitive advantage (ES)
Almost every company already has some form of FinOps practice. Few have a true system.
In this session, we’ll examine how doing FinOps manually versus in an automated way is increasingly determining who leads in the tech sector—and the concrete steps that separate one from the other.

19:25 - From On-Demand to Optimized: Your Guide to Smarter Cloud Commitment Strategies (EN)
Most organizations leave significant cloud savings on the table, not because commitment options don’t exist, but because traditional Reserved Instances demand forecasting confidence few teams have. The result: defaulting to on-demand rates rather than risking a 1 or 3-year lock-in.
Archera removes that barrier. In this session, we’ll walk through a practical framework for building a cloud commitment strategy that matches your actual risk tolerance, including how Archera’s guaranteed commitments let you start capturing savings with terms as short as 30 days, scale to deeper discounts with 1-year options that exceed what most native cloud providers offer, and optionally hand off execution entirely with full automation.

19:55 - Networking with Food & Drinks
Once the talks are over, an informal networking session will open, designed to:
- Connect with other FinOps professionals
- Exchange ideas, experiences, and contacts
- Speak directly with the speakers

“Para mi aprender es ganar valor. Si además acercamos la tecnología a usuarios y empresas de una manera relajada y divertida, como puede ser en una sesión en un bar con una cerveza y aprendemos sobre productos tecnológicos, la nube, la IA, gestión de equipos… entonces creo que la ganancia es mayor, porque en ese tipo de eventos el networking es mucho más natural y relajado. Enseñamos y Aprendemos. ¿Qué más se puede pedir?”
¿Cuál es nuestro objetivo?
Our goal is to foster practical learning and the exchange of experiences around FinOps.
We aim to build connections within Madrid’s tech community, combining high-level insights with an informal networking space, complete with pizza.
