The Face-to-Face London FP&A Board
Reinventing FP&A: Key Lessons Learned from the Pandemic
The London Board meeting
The event is proudly sponsored by:
IWG Robert Half
      London FP&A Board

When COVID struck, we paused our face-to-face meetings in 27 cities of 16 countries worldwide. However, we did not stop researching, debating, analysing, and examining best practices during the two years of the pandemic; instead, we moved our meetings online.

We are now restarting face-to-face events, continuing our mission of learning the latest trends in FP&A through discussion and collaboration.

The first meeting of the London FP&A Board will discuss what lessons the pandemic has taught us. 

The International FP&A Board was created in London, UK, in 2013 to guide the development and promotion of the best practices in modern corporate Financial Planning & Analytics (FP&A). Since then, further Board chapters have been successfully established, identifying and supporting new global trends, skill sets and thought leadership. 

The FP&A Board is exclusive to senior finance practitioners in active employment (at CFO, FD, and Head of Finance levels) who represent large local and international organisations (revenue from £0.5B). Please note that Board membership is limited; we invite only 25 senior finance practitioners to join. 

Board meetings are complimentary, vendor-agnostic and by-invitation-only.

Safety: FP&A Trends Group will take all measures to provide a safe and collaborative environment. Every participant should make sure they comply with active COVID regulations. It is advisable to take a home COVID test before the meeting. Please refrain from joining the event and inform us if you have any symptoms.
