Conversations beyond the confines of the Office

Every era of rapid innovation brings a "Bubble Phase": a period where speculative investment outpaces actual utility. In 2026, finance leaders are moving past the initial AI excitement and entering the era of evaluation. 
In 2026, the question for the modern CFO is no longer "How do we adopt AI?" but ""How do we protect our organization from the fallout of misaligned AI investment?"

​

On February 12th, CFOMeet & Vertice invite you to a private, closed-door dinner at Fogo de Chão to move beyond the AI buzzwords. We are gathering NYC’s top finance leaders for a tactical session on de-risking the AI cycle focusing on the negotiation, contractual safeguards, and rigorous ROI modeling required to survive the "AI-washing" of the enterprise.

​

Core Discussion Themes:

• Tactical frameworks for challenging legacy vendors who are masking price hikes as "AI innovation."

• Strategies for negotiating IP indemnity and data-usage rights into AI-enabled SaaS contracts.

• Moving past vendor-provided "productivity" metrics to hard-dollar EBIT impact and cost-of-capital analysis.

• Protecting your budget from "Agentic AI" sprawl and the volatility of opaque, consumption-based pricing models.

Join us for an Epicurean Dinner and World-Class Cocktails as we dive into real-world strategies from forward-thinking finance leaders who are using automation and intelligence to reclaim time, optimize performance, and make finance a true engine of transformation.
