CEO Roundtables London

FinOps User Group First Meet

We're kicking off the first Lens FinOps get-together, a chance for members of the group to meet in person, share what they're working on, and talk shop on FinOps. **On the day:** * Meet and greet. Come introduce yourself and get to know the rest of the group. * Overview of what was announced at Tokenomicon the day before in Amsterdam. * Challenge Clinic. With minds from all over the FinOps space in the same room, it makes sense to share the biggest challenges we're trying to solve. There's a decent chance someone in the room will have some useful insight. Don't be shy to raise any issues you're having, and don't be afraid to speak up if you think you can help. * Roundtable discussion: SaaS FinOps. Bring your questions and anything you're willing to share with the group. **Dinner:** for anyone who'd like to keep the conversation going, we'll head to The Rajasthan locally afterwards. If you are likely to be attending the dinner please message in the group and we will reserve the right amount of space. Looking forward to seeing you all there.
