Full description from organizerShow less
You bought it, or approved someone who did. There was a business case. Nobody can prove it was worth it. Nobody can prove it was not. The number keeps growing. AI spend does not arrive in one place. It sits in the cloud bill, inside software renewals, on a few cards, and in whatever your teams are running directly. Every part of it has an owner. The total does not. IT has been here once before, when cloud turned predictable capital spend into consumption spend. What we'll cover Where AI spend actually hides: seats, tokens, inference compute, renewal uplifts, and agents that consume on their own schedule rather than a person's. How AI pricing works, why it breaks the assumptions IT budgeting was built on, and why agents turn a predictable number into a moving target. The cloud precedent, with Petteri Naulapää: what changes for cost, ownership and forecasting when an organisation moves from capital spend to consumption spend, drawn from three CIO seats, and how much of it carries over to AI. The cost jump from pilot to production, and how to fund what works instead of what started first. Where AI belongs in the IT cost model, so every euro has an owner and a way to show what it returned. The questions finance and IT should be asking together before the next budget is locked. Who it's for CIOs, CFOs, controllers, IT procurement, and anyone building with AI. The same problem whether you are buying AI or building it. Speakers Yogesh Kumar Awasthi, founder, Inturol, building in IT Finance. Petteri Naulapää, ex-CIO of Posti Group Oyj, Stockmann and Vaisala.
