AI-Powered Infrastructure Economics: From Cloud Regions to Data Center ROI | Seattle Tech Forum
Grab your lunch and join us on Zoom for a virtual lunch session exploring AI infra economics!
Cloud infrastructure investments are no longer just engineering decisions; they're portfolio decisions that require a clear economic view across regions, sites, capacity, and timing.
In this session, our panel discusses how AI can help product managers, engineers, and leaders connect fragmented signals such as capital spend, operating cost, utilization, revenue attribution, capacity readiness, and demand forecasts into a practical decision framework. The focus is on moving from intuition and spreadsheet-based analysis to evidence-based investment planning. This includes understanding ROI at the cloud region level, identifying where revenue and cost assumptions are misaligned, and drilling down to individual data centers to evaluate break-even, idle capacity, acceleration trade-offs, and future expansion choices.
Attendees will learn how AI-assisted data products can surface the right questions, expose investment blind spots, and improve collaboration between technical, finance, and leadership teams without requiring every stakeholder to become a financial modeling expert before making capital allocation and timing decisions.
Who is this for?
This session is for product managers, engineers, finance partners, and leaders who are involved in cloud infrastructure, capacity planning, or investment decisions.
It's intended for anyone who wants to understand how AI can connect cost, utilization, revenue, and capacity signals to evaluate ROI across cloud regions and data centers. No deep finance background is required.
