How (Not) to F*ck Up Your Pricing
Everyone on your team can destroy your pricing — even while appearing to help. Learn exactly which pricing landmines are buried in your business today, who's probably standing on one right now, and how to turn pricing risk into opportunities for growth.

Why Payments Are the Missing Variable In Your Pricing Experiments
Your last pricing experiment underperformed. You checked the price point, the messaging, the rollout. Everything looked right. It probably wasn't any of those things. The payment layer is where pricing experiments quietly break down. Payment method and user experience shape whether a pricing change converts or stalls, and most teams never look there. The data doesn't flag it cleanly. The problem just shows up as a number that didn't move. In this session, GoCardless will show you exactly how payment strategy affects pricing experiment outcomes, with real examples from companies that have figured this out. If you're running usage-based or hybrid pricing and your experiments aren't converting the way your models predict, this session is for you. Leave with a practical framework for running smarter experiments that account for the full payment experience from the start.

Building a Tax Compliance Foundation for the Agentic Era
AI is transforming the way technology companies scale. In this era of new revenue models, global customers, and fragmented systems, it's more important than ever for companies to address compliance gaps. In this session, the CFOs of Avalara and Chargebee will share how the Office of the CFO is evolving for the agentic era and what that means for building a finance and compliance foundation that can withstand real scrutiny. They'll cover how leading teams are closing compliance gaps before they surface, the role of partnership-driven infrastructure in scaling globally, and how AI is reshaping expectations from the boardroom to the public markets. You’ll walk away with a clear view of what gets scrutinized during diligence, which risks could jeopardize your next funding round, and what to prioritize now to protect valuation and support your next phase of growth.

When FP&A Meets AI: Lessons from Intercom on Redefining Finance Leadership for the AI Era
With the launch of Fin, Intercom’s AI-powered support agent, the company made the bold financial bet to shift to outcome-based pricing – leading the industry and setting a new standard for pricing in the new world of AI. In this fireside chat, Tommy Bettles, Intercom's VP of FP&A, will share lessons on forecasting amid uncertainty, building new financial frameworks, and enabling product teams with deeper cost visibility. You'll leave with a new look at how AI is transforming the finance function itself and reshaping the role of modern finance leaders.

E-Invoicing 101: What It Is, Why It's Coming, and What To Do Now
E-invoicing is becoming a defining shift in global tax compliance. More than 30 countries already require it in some form, including Mexico, Brazil, and Japan. By 2030, that number is expected to reach 50, adding major economies such as Germany, the UK, and France. For years, most US-based companies had little reason to pay attention. That is changing quickly. AI companies expanding internationally are hitting these mandates faster than legacy SaaS businesses did. The growth is faster, the customer base is more global, and the compliance infrastructure often hasn't kept pace. Invopop will walk you through what e-invoicing is, why it matters, and what to start preparing for now before compliance becomes urgent. You'll leave with a clear picture of what to assess in your current invoicing setup.

Why Embedded Finance Is Key To Building an AI Monetization Engine
Recurring payments are the heartbeat of a scaling AI business — but at most companies (even the most innovative ones!), the payments infrastructure simply cannot keep pace with the product roadmap. Legacy payment stacks and generalist platforms were built for a simpler business model, and maintaining them while supporting usage-based or hybrid pricing can drain engineering hours and budget you'd rather spend on growth. In this session, Adyen and Chargebee will break down the financial infrastructure you need to power ongoing AI monetization at scale. You'll learn what embedded finance looks like in practice for companies at every stage, where the most common payment setups fall short, and what to focus on as your business keeps growing.

How High-Growth Companies Future-Proof Their Quote-to-Cash Before It Costs Them
Most finance teams don't discover their revenue infrastructure has a ceiling until they hit it. If you're in the middle of reinventing your monetization model, the gap between the billing and tax setup you have and the one your business actually needs tends to close at the worst possible moment: mid-close, mid-audit, or mid-board-prep. And once you're behind, catching up is expensive. SignalRGB knows this moment well. In this session, CEO & Founder Timothy Sun will share what it actually looked like to outgrow their revenue infrastructure mid-scale — and how partnering with Chargebee and Anrok helped them rebuild for what came next without losing momentum. You'll leave with a practical lens for spotting where your own quote-to-cash stack will hit its limits — and a clear picture of what to automate before complexity becomes a blocker to growth.

First Blocks and Second Acts: On Notion’s Agent-Native, Defiantly People-First Reinvention
Notion has always worked in service of one mission: to make toolmaking ubiquitous. Yet, it took the company 3-4 absolute resets to get to product-market fit — including a legendary one where the founders locked themselves into a small, two-story Kyoto house. In this live recording of the Second Acts podcast, Notion co-founder Akshay Kothari will give Chargebee co-founder and CEO Krish Subramanian an inside look at Notion's magisterial next act as an at-scale $10B business, aimed toward the future while remaining grounded in their very origins.

Agents and Money SF w/ Chargebee + Mastra
Your agent works. It coordinates, reasons, and retrieves — perhaps even wonderfully so. Then you’re hit by a $67,000 API bill. Token prices are most certainly falling. Yet agent costs are not. Complex agents, the ones calling tools and looping back on themselves, burn through 5–20x more tokens than a simple chain. Most teams discover that pressing implication late into production. Few address it methodically as a design and optimization problem from the start. Join Chargebee and Mastra for an evening of hands-on insight and conversation on building and scaling money-aware, radically efficient, no less powerful agents. Talks include: • Workshop: Building AI Agents With Economics That Scale - Alex Booker, Mastra • Talk: You Should Build $100,000 Agents Today - Shawn “swyx” Wang • Talk: What the Next Million Inference Engineers Will Need - Philip Kiely, Baseten • Fireside Chat: Field Notes from Token Town - Sarah Sachs, Notion • Food, drinks, and conversations on the great joys, open questions, and occasional horrors of scaling agents and money Limited (100 in-person) spots.
