What to expect

Pick your city

Sit down with fellow executives to work out what enterprise AI really costs.

Year one of enterprise AI was mostly about access: a few model contracts, a wave of pilots and plenty of curiosity. Year two brings the bill. Usage spreads across every team, overlapping tools pile up and staff juggle five assistants that never share context with each other. Boards are now asking a sharper question: which of these investments will still pay off in three years?

Concrete Takeaways

Expect a simple model for weighing AI spend against results, a checklist for trimming waste from everyday usage and a practical way to judge whether your platform choices will compound in value over time or just keep adding overhead.

Candid Conversations With Your Peers

Each stop gathers a small group of technology and finance leaders around one long table to swap notes on what AI actually costs to run in a large company. Topics range from setting budgets that don't stall delivery to squeezing more value from each request, and keeping your roadmap flexible while vendors, pricing and models keep moving under your feet.
