The Vendor That Broke Us

​When a critical vendor failure swallowed weeks of work and a chunk of the budget, the lessons learned were too valuable to keep private. Join Finance League in Boston on January 15, 2026 for a practical session on vendor management that walks through a real incident — what went wrong, what could have been done differently, and which contract and governance levers prevent a repeat. Expect concrete takeaways on due diligence, SLA design, escalation paths, contingency planning, and negotiating exit clauses.

​This session is geared toward finance leaders, procurement and vendor managers, risk officers, and anyone responsible for vendor relationships. We’ll combine a short case study with ready-to-use checklists and time for questions so you can leave with a clearer playbook for protecting operations and the bottom line.
