Keynote: Reframing Modern Operations for an AI-Accelerated World
12:00 – 1:00 pm
Enterprises have invested heavily in cloud, automation, and analytics, yet operational maturity is not keeping pace. As organizations scale, fragmented CloudOps, overhyped AI Ops, and narrowly applied FinOps models often create friction instead of resilience.
The path to operational excellence depends less on adding tools and more on aligning architecture, governance, and execution across cloud, AI, and operations.
In this keynote, David Linthicum brings practical clarity to how CloudOps, AIOps, and FinOps must work together as a single operating discipline, not three disconnected motions. Drawing on decades of experience advising global enterprises, he will explore why CloudOps maturity frequently lags despite significant cloud investment, where AI Ops expectations diverge from operational reality, and why FinOps must evolve from cost reporting into a true governance framework.
This discussion cuts through the hype to highlight a common pattern behind stalled progress: organizations that rush to automate before building the right architectural foundation. Attendees can expect straight talk, clear framing, and actionable insights to modernize their operating models, strengthen decision-making, and build operations that scale with confidence in an AI-driven world.
