Beyond Hype: Automation and AI in the Finance Stack
What Should You Automate Next, and Should You Build or Buy?
Join finance leaders actively implementing AI, automation, and AI agents across the finance stack to hear what they chose, what delivered value, and what they would do differently.
Then compare notes with peers facing similar decisions.
We’ll discuss:
Where teams are seeing measurable returns, and not
How they make build-versus-buy decisions
How to implement solutions, including pitfalls and lessons
Leave with practical criteria to evaluate your next investment in finance automation.
