What AI Is Really Costing Your Business

Join Tusker on June 23rd at Ruth's Chris in Middleton to understand where AI costs are coming from—and what you can do to control them.

What is AI Really Costing Your Organization?

AI is moving fast. Most organizations don't have a clear view of what it's actually costing them, not just in cloud spend, but hidden usage, risk and complexity.

Join Tusker experts Amy Haschak, Principal of Finops, and Sanjaya Senanayake, Cybersecurity Solutions Architect, for an executive session on how to bring control to AI cost, governance, and risk followed by a three-course lunch and peer discussion. 

The Reality

AI introduces new layers of cost and exposure:

  • Hidden AI spend from unapproved tools and usage
  • Rapid growth in API, data movement, and compute costs
  • Unpredictable model usage that breaks traditional cost models
  • Security and compliance risks from data exposure and AI workflows
  • Where costs are coming from—and how to control them without slowing progress

As AI scales, the cost of intelligence becomes financial, operational, and security-driven.

What You’ll Learn

  • Where AI spend is actually coming from, and where it's hiding
  • How to reduce costs without slowing down progress
  • How to align IT, finance, and security to manage AI at scale

Why Attend

This session is about one thing: control.

You’ll leave with a clearer view of your AI cost exposure, practical ways to reduce unnecessary spend, and a framework to manage AI with confidence as it grows.

Date: Tuesday, June 23, 2026
Time: 11:00AM (please arrive 5-10 minutes early)
Location: Ruth's Chris, 2137 Deming Way, Middleton, WI 53562

AI can create advantage, but unmanaged, it creates risk.

Organizations that get ahead will understand both.
