This AWS New York meetup looks beyond falling token prices to how teams measure AI costs against business outcomes—and what trade-offs may come with savings.

Monday, November 16, 2026. Listing says 4:30–5:30 PM EST, while the agenda runs through networking at 6:00 PM. The listing advises allowing at least 15 minutes for security; it also says the event starts at 4:45 PM.
A lower price per token does not, by itself, explain a rising AI bill. GenAI Tokenomics takes up the harder accounting question: how much does token use cost in relation to a business result? The meetup is scheduled for Monday, November 16, 2026, in New York.
The event’s starting point is a mismatch its listing describes: token prices fall over time, while AI bills rise. Its first section looks at how a token bill is assembled, including a cost equation and less-visible factors that affect spending; the next section turns to measurement. The stated aim is to connect usage costs with the cost of each business outcome, rather than treating token counts as the whole accounting picture.
That framing may suit people trying to understand or manage AI expenditure, but the listing does not offer a sample calculation, name the hidden cost factors or identify a particular business case. The agenda signals the questions the session will address, not a published set of examples.

After measurement, the outline moves to ways of reducing costs, including the mechanisms, benefits and trade-offs involved, then closes with pitfalls to watch for. That sequence matters: the session is not presented as a simple checklist for cutting a bill, but as a discussion of savings choices and their possible consequences.
No individual cost-saving method is named in the event description. Readers looking for guidance on a specific model, service or optimization technique should not assume the listing confirms that it will be covered.

The speaker biographies introduce Krishna Reddy and Samit Kumbhani, both AWS Senior Solutions Architects with more than 20 years of experience. Reddy is based in New York City and works with independent software vendors on cloud systems designed to scale while remaining cost-effective and secure; his experience spans startups through enterprise organizations.
Kumbhani works with independent software vendors on scalable, innovative and secure cloud solutions, with a growing focus on analytics and AI/ML. Those backgrounds provide context for the event’s cost-and-architecture focus, but the listing does not assign specific agenda sections to either speaker.

The outline progresses from the components of a token bill and factors affecting spend to outcome measurement, then to savings mechanisms, trade-offs and pitfalls. It does not name particular savings techniques.
The listing header gives 4:30–5:30 p.m. EST. Its detailed agenda has arrivals from 4:30–4:45, a presentation and demo from 4:45–5:30, Q&A from 5:30–5:45, and networking from 5:45–6:00. The listing calls 4:45 p.m. the event start and describes the closing Q&A and networking as optional. Because those agenda items extend beyond the header’s stated end time, confirm the timing if you plan to stay for the full program.
