Subject: Request for Approval – Tokenomicon + FinOps X 2027

Dear [your manager’s name],

I’d like to request approval to attend Tokenomicon + FinOps X 2027 (TFX), taking place June 7–10, 2027 at the Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina. TFX is the AI Economics & Technology Value conference, bringing the FinOps, tokenomics and IT asset management communities together to share how organizations measure, govern and get value from their AI and technology spend.

The conference is hosted by the FinOps Foundation and the Tokenomics Foundation (both part of the Linux Foundation), with more than 3,000 attendees, 120+ speakers and 50+ sponsors expected. Sessions cover topic areas such as:

AI Token Economics: The economics of AI tokens, from usage and pricing to optimization and emerging business models, directly relevant to how we plan and control our AI spend.

Agentic FinOps and AI for FinOps: How autonomous AI agents and intelligent automation are changing forecasting, optimization and day-to-day FinOps work.

AI Value: How organizations measure the cost, impact and return on their AI investments, so we can demonstrate the value of our own.

ITAM and Architecting for Value: How IT asset management and architectural decisions shape cost, performance, visibility and governance.

Pre-Con day (June 7): Smaller working sessions on ITAM, ITFM/TBM and the FOCUS billing data standard, with practitioners rather than vendors leading the room.

Direct Business Benefits:
I will target at least three actionable tactics and process improvements with direct cost impact, and bring back practical frameworks, templates and workflows we can apply straight away.

Knowledge Transfer Commitment:
I will deliver a post-event session for our team sharing the key highlights, and circulate a practical summary of learnings and new connections. If colleagues attend with me, group pricing for teams of 3 or more lowers our registration cost.

Cost Estimate:

Registration: $1,099 (Main Conference) to $1,548 (Complete Package, including the Pre-Con day and AI Tokenomics Fundamentals training)
Hotel: [nightly rate] per night ([number] nights) + taxes/fees
Airfare: [estimated airfare]
Total: [total] + taxes and fees

I’m confident participation will deliver significant ROI, helping us accelerate our FinOps and AI cost maturity and achieve more value from our technology spend.

Thank you for considering this request. I am happy to discuss any aspect in further detail, including budget or travel constraints.

Best regards,
[Your Name]
