At this difficult and uncertain time of global Black Swans and Perfect Storms, the demand for modern FP&A knowledge is higher than ever before. Keeping this in mind, the team at International FP&A Board has decided to start sharing the insights from more than 200 Board meetings with our global professional community.
Over the last 4 years, we have held more than 200 meetings in 27 cities, 16 countries, and across 4 continents. It has been incredibly inspiring to see so many FP&A senior practitioners come together to shape the future of our profession. We would like to share this accumulated knowledge with the entire FP&A community.
This is the reason for which we are launching a series of 40-minute online events called "FP&A Board Connect" where FP&A Board speakers will present their practical case studies and share thought-leadership from all over the world. The meetings will be complimentary and vendor-agnostic. They are open to anyone interested in FP&A's latest trends and developments.
Below you can the list of recordings from our previous FP&A Board Connect meetings. This was the first round of FP&A Board Connect events, and we are planning the second round soon.
