SUMMARY:Toronto Network Hour - Virtual
DESCRIPTION:Network Hour is a one-hour\, informal virtual session where CIOs and IT leaders connect to share insights\, ask questions\, and learn from one another. Unlike webinars or vendor presentations\, this is a space for open\, peer-led discussion no slides\, no sales pitches.\nOur April discussion will focus on AI Cost Management\, Token Utilization & Licensing Models\n\nAs AI adoption accelerates\, so does the complexity of managing its costs. From token-based pricing and credit consumption to seat-based licensing\, many of us are navigating new and often unpredictable cost structures.\n\nThis session will focus on how we as CIOs are approaching:\n\n - Managing and forecasting AI-related costs (tokens\, credits\, usage-based models)\n - Evaluating tools like GitHub Copilot\, Claude.ai / Claude Code\, M365 Copilot\, and others\n - Governance and controls to prevent runaway usage\n - Balancing experimentation with cost discipline\n - Lessons learned and open questions we're still working through\nWe'll kick things off with a quick round of introductions\, followed by open discussion.

X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:Network Hour is a one-hour\, informal virtual session where CIOs and IT leaders connect to share insights\, ask questions\, and learn from one another. Unlike webinars or vendor presentations\, this is a space for open\, peer-led discussion &mdash\; no slides\, no sales pitches.
Our April discussion will focus on AI Cost Management\, Token Utilization &\; Licensing Models
As AI adoption accelerates\, so does the complexity of managing its costs. From token-based pricing and credit consumption to seat-based licensing\, many of us are navigating new and often unpredictable cost structures.
This session will focus on how we as CIOs are approaching:
\;- Managing and forecasting AI-related costs (tokens\, credits\, usage-based models)
\;- Evaluating tools like GitHub Copilot\, Claude.ai / Claude Code\, M365 Copilot\, and others
\;- Governance and controls to prevent runaway usage
\;- Balancing experimentation with cost discipline
\;- Lessons learned and open questions we&rsquo\;re still working through
We&rsquo\;ll kick things off with a quick round of introductions\, followed by open discussion.
