Visibility to Value Summit

Governing the AI Enterprise. London, 14 July 2026.
Every enterprise now runs on software it didn't buy, agents it didn't deploy and models it hasn't priced. Governance used to be a compliance conversation. In the AI era, it's the growth conversation.

One day. One room. The leaders who'll have to answer for what happens next.

Visibility to Value has always been about turning what you can see across your technology estate into commercial outcomes the board can trust. The estate just changed shape. Agents are spinning up. Copilots are giving advice nobody audits. Model spend is compounding quietly inside cloud bills. Procurement is signing contracts FinOps has never seen. Operations teams are managing AI-driven services without the visibility needed to govern performance, reliability or risk.

That's what this summit is for. Bytes brings Flexera, ServiceNow, Axonius and Halo into one room for an honest conversation about governing the AI enterprise; connecting ITAM, Procurement, FinOps and AIOps to create accountability, control emerging costs and turn technology intelligence into measurable business value.

 

Why Senior Leaders Should Make Time for This?

AI strategy is easy. Governing it is harder.

Most organisations can talk about AI opportunities. Few can confidently answer the questions that matter:

• What AI is running across the business?
• Who is accountable for it?
• What is it costing?
• How do we measure value?

You're short on a plan you can put in front of the CFO on Monday.

Leave with one.

Walk away with:

• A clearer view of the AI agents, models and licences operating across your estate, sanctioned or not.
• A practical definition of governed AI that technology, finance, security and procurement teams can align behind.
• Greater confidence in managing AI costs, from consumption and tokens to commercial accountability.
• Insights and peer perspectives from organisations already navigating AI governance at scale.
• Practical guidance on extending FinOps disciplines beyond cloud spend to govern AI consumption, token economics and value realisation.
• An understanding of how AIOps can provide the operational intelligence, automation and governance needed to manage increasingly autonomous digital services.

Governance requires more than policy. It requires intelligence.

As AI adoption accelerates, technology leaders must make sense of increasingly complex environments where software, cloud, services and AI are converging. Effective governance now depends on connecting technology intelligence, FinOps, AIOps, security and procurement into a single operating model that improves visibility, strengthens accountability and delivers measurable business value.

If AI will shape your organisation's next 18 months, governance will determine whether it creates value, controls cost and earns trust. This is the conversation senior leaders need to be part of.

Choose Your Path

Choose the conversations that matter most to your organisation.

Following the keynotes, select two of three executive breakout sessions exploring the disciplines that will define successful AI governance:

• IT Asset Management + Procurement
• FinOps (Cloud Cost Management)
• Service Management + CMDB + Automation

Each session focuses on a critical challenge facing today's AI-enabled enterprise: maintaining visibility, governing risk, controlling cost and proving value.

Because governing AI requires more than technology. It requires alignment across the business.

 

Breakout Session Breakdown:

IT Asset Management + Procurement Focus	FinOps (Cloud Cost Management) Focus	Service Management + CMDB + Automation Focus
As SaaS, AI and evolving consumption models reshape the technology landscape, organisations are facing growing complexity across licensing, procurement and cost control. This session explores how closer alignment between ITAM and procurement can improve visibility, strengthen governance and support more informed commercial decision-making.	Cloud visibility alone is no longer enough. As AI adoption accelerates and cost models evolve, organisations need a more joined-up approach to financial control, optimisation and governance. This session explores how FinOps and ITAM can work together to improve cloud decision-making, reduce waste and align spend more closely to business priorities.	Many organisations still manage asset data and service processes in silos, limiting visibility and weakening decision-making. This session looks at how aligning ITAM with service management can improve data quality, embed better asset insight into workflows and create a more connected view across the technology lifecycle.

Who Should Attend?

• IT Asset Management (ITAM) & SAM leaders
• Procurement & commercial professionals
• FinOps & governance and transformation leaders
• IT & Technology leaders (CIO, CTO)
• Senior decision-makers responsible for improving value, control and accountability across the technology estate (CEO, CFO, CTO, Digital Officers)

• Heads of IT, Infrastructure, Service Management and Operations
