Build a Defensible AI Budget in the Age of Agentic AI

AI adoption is accelerating, but many organizations are struggling to understand and predict the true cost of AI at scale.

While token prices continue to fall, AI bills often keep rising. Why? Because the real cost driver is not the price per token. It is the number of tokens required to complete each task. As organizations deploy increasingly sophisticated AI and agentic workflows, token consumption can grow exponentially and quickly outpace budget expectations.

Join Pellera's Mark Newton, Senior Solution Architect, FinOps, for an insightful session on Tokenomics, the discipline of understanding, forecasting, and managing AI costs.

Mark will break down the key drivers behind AI spending and demonstrate how organizations can build a practical, defensible budgeting framework that aligns technology investment with business outcomes.

Many public sector organizations rely on Alteryx Designer Desktop for data preparation, reporting, analytics, and compliance-driven processes. While desktop analytics has delivered significant value, evolving requirements around collaboration, governance, security, and scalability are driving organizations to explore more connected approaches.

Your business units are adopting AI faster than security can review it, and adversaries are using that same technology to scale attacks with precision. That gap between innovation and oversight is exactly where risk lives. In this session, we'll build an end-to-end AI security and governance architecture in real time, from Shadow AI discovery through the AI gateway, prompt and runtime protection, to AI-driven detection and response.

Here's what you'll walk away with:

• A reference architecture for securing AI and using AI for security across your enterprise, with every layer mapped and connected.

• An integrated AI governance board model, including roles, decision rights, and approval gates that link policy to enforcement.

• A practical gap-mapping framework to measure your current tooling against the architecture and pinpoint the real point-product gaps worth solving.

AI Has Become a Non Human Identity. Are You Managing It Like One?

AI agents are increasingly operating as digital identities inside the enterprise.

Every Agentic AI deployment introduces an entity that can access systems, execute actions, and even interact with customers. Unlike traditional accounts, AI agents make context-based decisions and operate with varying levels of autonomy.

This creates a new and urgent requirement: Identity centric governance for AI.

If your organization is scaling AI or preparing to, this session will outline the identity, security, and governance models needed before AI becomes an audit finding.

What You’ll Learn

In this session, we’ll break down the emerging challenges and controls required to govern AI driven identities:

• Identity implications of AI agents

• Accountability models

• Runtime monitoring

• Where to begin: Inventory, Assess, and Define

Designed specifically for security, identity, risk, and AI governance leaders.

Special Offer for Attendees As a thank you for joining us, all participants will receive a $20 lunch card following the webinar.

Most organizations have already tackled the obvious sources of technology waste. Cost control has delivered meaningful savings, but it answers a fundamentally backward-looking question:

Where did we spend too much?

The more strategic challenge facing technology and business leaders today is:

Where should the next technology dollar go?

As organizations balance investments across cloud, AI, SaaS, software licensing, and datacenter infrastructure, leaders must make difficult decisions about which initiatives to accelerate, maintain, reconsider, or retire.

Join Mark Newton, Senior Solution Architect for FinOps at Pellera, for an executive-focused discussion on capital allocation strategies that help organizations maximize business value from technology investments. You'll learn how to evaluate competing priorities across your technology portfolio and establish a repeatable decision-making framework that aligns spending with strategic outcomes.

By the time a workload reaches production, most of the expensive technology decisions have already been made.

Instance sizing, architectural choices, data movement patterns, resiliency requirements, and service selection all establish the financial trajectory of a solution long before traditional optimization efforts begin. At that stage, organizations are often managing the consequences of design decisions rather than influencing them.

Join Mark Newton, Senior Solution Architect, FinOps at Pellera, for an executive discussion on how organizations can bring cost accountability earlier into architecture, engineering, and delivery processes. Learn how to incorporate financial considerations into design reviews and deployment pipelines to establish a lower cost floor before spend ever occurs.

Mark will also address one of the most challenging questions in FinOps and engineering governance:

How do you recognize and reward teams for costs that never happened because they made the right decisions early?
