About
For the past year, most companies had one AI goal: get people using it. Now the invoices from frontier labs have arrived, input token usage keeps climbing and the question has changed from adoption to accountability, i.e. what does the company get back for the money?
Tokenomics is an event for the people being asked that question. You'll hear from internal AI teams and operators about how they run AI ops, from model choices to governance to budgeting.
Nobody has it all figured out yet. That's why it's worth comparing notes in a room filled with peers working on the same problems.
