Cloud Cost Optimization in the Era of AI
Executive Dinner & Fireside Chat | Denver
From Visibility to Autonomous Action: Real-World Cloud Cost Strategies in the Era of AI
About Event
Join nOps and Sedai for an exclusive executive dinner at El Five with a select group of FinOps and cloud leaders.
Most teams have visibility into their cloud waste. The harder problem is acting on it — without creating more tickets, more toil, and more friction between FinOps and engineering. This dinner is for the leaders who are ready to move from recommendations that sit in a backlog to optimization that actually executes.
The evening will feature a fireside chat with Shannon Daubaras, FinOps Ambassador and Senior Director of Technology Business Management at CCC Intelligent Solutions, followed by peer discussions on managing cloud spend, navigating cost allocation challenges, reducing engineering toil, and driving efficiency across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
Hosted at one of Denver's most distinctive dining destinations, this curated evening brings together senior leaders for thoughtful conversation, meaningful networking, and practical peer exchange. El Five offers a vibrant, elevated setting with sweeping city views, Mediterranean-inspired cuisine, and a memorable private dining experience.
Our past executive events have attracted leaders from Adobe, JPMorgan, PayPal, Lucid, Walmart, Palo Alto Networks, Wells Fargo, Capital One, etc. We're bringing that same high-caliber experience to Denver in a smaller, more intimate format — designed to encourage deeper discussion and stronger peer connections.
This invite-only gathering is intentionally limited to 20 seats to foster high-value conversation.
