Really enjoyed the event and being able to connect with other FP&A professionals. The sessions were invaluable in helping to develop a better understanding of the various things happening in the FP&A space and to gain new ideas for improvements in our organization.

—Nate, Operations Controller

I particularly enjoyed the workshop/training and the keynote speakers sharing their wisdom.

—Choy, Manager of Planning and Analysis

Very informative, creative, and practical sessions and speakers

—Florache, Senior Accounting Manager

These sessions were packed so full of info I had to close my email and not multi-task.  This had my full attention and I appreciate the effort that went into making the sessions interesting.

—Jessica, Senior Financial Analyst

As a team that’s been with Vena for a few years now and implemented multiple processes, I think the value for us really comes in conversations with other experienced users and learning and about new features
