About the Summit
The traditional finance function has undergone significant change over the past few years and has evolved towards that of a strategic partner. Finance is no longer focusing only on traditional reporting and cost reduction, but streamlining the tradition roles and providing value-added analysis to the business to uncover key areas of competitive advantage. This summit offers a unique blend of pertinent and timely forecasting and fp&a topics and discussions focused on helping the attendee achieve next generation finance.
Every year we bring together the most passionate and experienced finance and fp&a professionals to share their journey and help others elevate their role and solve organizational challenges. Everyone involved will walk away with the tools, skill-sets and knowledge to provide their organization with better analysis and forecasting. Absent from the summit are exhibit halls, vendors and sponsors. We believe that vendors, while valuable in other ways, have ulterior motives and don't provide participants with the necessary unbiased knowledge that attendees are seeking. Attendees have ample time during the summit to create meaningful dialogue with other participants. This allows the engaged participant to create a plan of action for change. This forum is truly focused on the participants.
We hope to see in at the summit!
