The webinar is proudly sponsored by:

X-FP&A​

FP&A professionals are very skilled at how to forecast and manage revenue. But changing consumer behaviors, supply chain shifts, and innovations in data analytics have pushed them to reconsider their approach to revenue planning processes. Those processes are both strategic and operational and require complete visibility on all data and drivers.

What are the latest trends and best practices in Revenue Planning? What has changed and what is the new road map for success?

Join us for the FP&A Trends Webinar on April 28 from 11 AM to 12 PM PDT to find answers to these questions and to listen to the case studies of two of the world's leading companies. You will learn from a CFO of Microsoft about Machine Learning Revenue Forecasting and from a Senior Vice President of Emirates Airline about Revenue Planning under the ‘Next Normal’.

If the timing is not right, you can listen to the recording later as it will be available to all registrants afterwards.
