Scaling AI without scaling costs: tokenomics, model management and ROI

Why attend?

AI spend is rising faster than most organisations expected. As AI adoption scales, leaders are facing new questions around ownership, governance, model selection and ROI.

Join senior technology and finance leaders for a closed-door discussion on controlling AI costs, managing risk and proving business value.

At Version 1, we’re already helping organisations move from AI experimentation to governed, production-scale value, including responsibly assessing more than 200 AI use cases in a regulated banking environment.
