A closed-door, Chatham House–style roundtable for senior cloud and finance leaders in regulated UK enterprises — turning cloud and AI cost visibility into real accountability, governance and control.
Why attend
Cloud and AI spend is accelerating faster than most governance models can keep up with — and in regulated sectors the pressure to evidence accountability is only rising. This roundtable brings a small group of peers together to move past dashboards and into ownership.
Go beyond cost visibility to the operating models, incentives and governance that make teams genuinely accountable for cloud and AI spend.
Explore FinOps through the lens of financial services, insurance, aviation and telco — where audit, control and evidence are non-negotiable.
Confront the new economics of GenAI and inference workloads, and how to bring them under the same accountability framework as the rest of the estate.
A curated table of 15–20 cloud and finance leaders under Chatham House rules — real experience, openly shared, not a vendor showcase.
Agenda
A joint practitioner panel, an extended facilitated roundtable and a live technology demo — closing with synthesis and networking drinks, all under Chatham House rules.
Arrival, badges and a warm welcome from the host as the table gathers.
