The Data Cost Cellar:
Uncorking AI & Compute Savings
Melbourne, Australia | 22 October 2026
Afternoon with Strategy
A Technical Masterclass & Wine Tasting for Data & AI Builders
While executives set the AI strategy, engineers and data leaders face the operational reality: runaway LLM token expenses, skyrocketing compute costs, and performance bottlenecks.
Join Strategy for an exclusive, hands-on masterclass built specifically for data architects, engineering managers, and analytics leads. We’ll run a live Strategy Mosaic Demo using an actual winery dataset to prove how you can cut AI token and compute costs by 50% without sacrificing performance or data trust.
After the technical validation, stick around for a curated, premium wine tasting to unwind and network with fellow technical peers.
What We'll Cover:
- Mosaic Live Demo: Watch a live run using real winery data to see how a Universal Semantic Layer slashes query overhead.
- 50% Cost Reduction: See the exact architecture that cuts LLM token consumption and compute burn in half.
- Governed Precision: Ensure accurate, reliable data outputs across both enterprise BI and AI agents.
- Wine Tasting: Enjoy a relaxed, premium tasting while connecting with peer implementers.
About the Masterclass:
- Where: QT Melbourne, Barclay Room, 133 Russell St
- When: Thursday, 22 October 2026, 2:45 pm – 5:00 pm
See how much you're overpaying...
