Limited to 25 nominated participants, this highly vetted private dinner and forum offers a chance to network and collaborate with CxO, EVP, and SVP peers to establish an operational framework and set of guidance so that organizations can more easily measure the business value they are getting from the rapidly evolving array of technologies, products, and associated pricing models.
The charter FinOps Executive Forum was held in San Diego in June 2025. This committee set the expectations for the Forum around the technology ecosystem (Cloud+ AI, SaaS, Data Center, etc.) The goal was to initiate a discourse that would make it simpler for every organization to integrate value-based decisions.
The foundational summit’s primary finding, documented in the resulting insights article, is that FinOps practices create stronger bi-directional alignment with business and technology strategies, thereby informing long-term investment decisions.
The San Francisco Salon will take these outputs and progress the conversation, which will travel globally throughout the year until returning to San Diego around FinOps X in 2026. Members from the charter eXec Forum, like Ema Patki, SVP Product & Platform at Align Technologies, will be in attendance to maintain our momentum.
You set the guidance; the Foundation will evangelize via the framework and the global ecosystem of technology providers; you hold your organization and vendors accountable for it to be a success.
Discuss and define how to connect the value of consumption-based technologies to strategic C-level initiatives. Help determine the operating model for Cloud+ FinOps and its place within the larger organization.
Become an eXec member. No vendors are allowed in the room.
Lite pre-arrival homework, a facilitated interactive discussion, networking, and a multi-course dinner will make this salon a productive, rewarding, and enjoyable evening.
