From Tokenmaxxing to Valuemaxxing - Santana Row
An Executive Workshop on Maximizing AI Value
About Event
Join nOps and our special guest, Omkar Gokhale, Senior Manager, Public Cloud FinOps at Salesforce, for an interactive workshop exploring how organizations can move beyond token consumption and maximize the business value of AI.
As AI adoption accelerates, technology leaders face a new challenge: understanding not only what AI costs, but the value it creates. During this session, Omkar will share practical perspectives on how FinOps is evolving to help organizations measure, govern, and optimize their AI investments.
He’ll be joined by JT Giri, CEO of nOps, for a practical discussion on how organizations can apply these principles through greater visibility, cost allocation, optimization, and AI unit economics.
Following the workshop, continue the conversation over drinks and light bites while connecting with AI, Cloud, FinOps, Platform Engineering, and technology leaders at Cielo Rooftop at Hotel Valencia Santana Row.
