AFP Aware
To participate in the live event, you must be a corporate practitioner (CP) and an attendee of AFP 2024. Pre-registration is required and this event is at capacity.
At AFP 2024, help us give the gift of music through a fun and interactive custom guitar build.
Participants will be divided into teams and collaborate to complete a series of challenges, each giving them key pieces to assemble their guitars.
Once they’ve completed all challenges, they’ll work as a team to assemble and decorate their guitars. These guitars will be donated to Love Learning Music, a local charity whose mission is to use music and fine arts to educate, equip and empower the whole person, regardless of age, ability or socioeconomic status.

Roundtable
FP&A Symposium | Define Your FP&A Value Proposition
Collaboration is what makes FP&A practitioners more than just data gatherers. We have the potential to be connectors of dots, pressure-testers of ideas, translators of diverse opportunities into the common language of dollars and cents and return on investment, but only if we have a seat at the tables alongside, rather than across from, our partners in the business. During this interactive discussion, participants consider how AI is reshaping the finance profession, and the role of collaborative skills at the epicenter of strategic decision-making. Participants walk away with an individualized action plan for enhancing their collaboration practice.
