Why it matters

Your team's AI budget is ultimately signed off by someone reasoning from exactly this kind of report — a rare look at how the approver actually evaluates the request.

The tokenmaxxing angle

This is the budget-approval side rather than the routing side, so call it adjacent: it is useful mainly for engineers who must justify cost-cutting routing work to a CFO who thinks in ROI, not tokens.

From the organizers

The report cited on the page puts enterprise generative-AI spend near $37B in 2025, roughly triple the prior year, while the share funded from experimental budgets fell from 25% to 7%. Hosted by Murray Newlands; $30 ticket.
