Keynote Presentation
Reframing Modern Operations for an AI-Accelerated World
In his 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.
