The FP&A Trends Webinar
Digital FP&A: Deploying AI/ML for Planning, Budgeting & Forecasting

The webinar is proudly sponsored by:

Real-Time Planning and Reforecasting ​

Amid threats of recession, banking collapse, an increasingly tight labor market and rising rates, organizations have heightened their focus on efficiency and profitability. FP&A teams have been asked to do more with less, fueling a desperate search for productivity. And technology is the key to finding that productivity. With the launch of ChatGPT earlier this year, we’ve seen science fiction become a reality. This session will focus on how FP&A teams can take advantage of AI and machine learning technologies to drive faster cycle times and foster increased agility.

Join the webinar on May 10 at 11:00 AM EDT /  5:00 PM CEST to hear some practical insights from senior practitioners and thought leaders on Digital FP&A and Deploying Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) for Planning, Budgeting & Forecasting.

A recording of the event will be shared afterwards with everyone who registers.
