The Infrastructure Decisions That Define Your Trajectory
The London AI Hub and AI for Growth are hosting a candid fireside and panel dedicated to the infrastructure decisions every AI founder eventually has to make.
Our panellists will get into what happens once you're past your free credits: how compute pricing shifts at scale, why vendor lock-in creeps up faster than expected, and the trade-off between speed, cost, and control most founders only learn the hard way. Expect straight talk from people who've actually built on this infrastructure, not vendors pitching a roadmap.
Speakers
Sana Khareghani, Chief Strategy Officer at Era4, with more panellists to be announced.
What to Expect
A candid fireside with infrastructure experts, covering compute access, hidden costs, and vendor dependency
