How Finance Teams Are Turning Vendor Contracts Into a Strategic Advantage (Sponsored by Ironclad)

Most finance teams at high growth companies are constantly in contract catch-up mode: chasing renewal dates, reconciling what was agreed versus what's being billed, or discovering auto-renew clauses only after they've triggered. This results in many organizations losing an average of 11% of contract value after the deal is signed: value that was already negotiated, then quietly left on the table. The fix isn't a bigger legal team - it's a reframe. Contracts aren't just legal documents. They're a source of untapped spend & revenue intelligence, and they belong on Finance's radar. In this session, we'll walk through how lean Finance and operations teams are turning vendor contracts from a filed-and-forgotten formality into an active tool for spend visibility and control. You'll leave with: - A framework for treating vendor contracts the way you treat spend data - tracked, analyzed, and acted on - Practical ways to surface renewal risk, pricing drift, and obligation gaps without adding headcount - A clear picture of how AI-powered contract management fits alongside your existing spend stack - What proactive procurement actually looks like for fast-growing finance teams

Sharing Our Agentic Finance Journey: What’s Working and What Isn’t Just Yet (Sponsored by Campfire)

Campfire has spent the past months running AI agents in production across continuous forecasting, close, treasury, and accruals. Some of it works. Some of it we've turned off. In this candid conversation we’ll explore how finance teams can use AI to become more strategic while keeping humans in control of the financial truth. Expect concrete examples, lessons from the field, and an honest conversation about what it takes to put agentic finance into practice. You won't get an autonomous-finance keynote. You'll get specifics: what we automated, what we reversed and why, how the controller's day actually changed, and what we'd tell a finance team starting this quarter. If you're deciding where to point AI in your own close, this is the session for the tradeoffs nobody puts on a slide.

The Spend No One Owns: Candidates, Contractors, Speakers, and Guests (Sponsored by Juno)

Every finance team has a category of travel that sits outside the T&E program: candidates, contractors, HCPs, board members, event guests. It gets booked manually over email and/or on the phone, paid on someone's personal card, and reconciled weeks later through reimbursements and one-off invoices. We'll show how Juno brings that spend under policy and onto a corporate spend program - guests book themselves through a branded link, payment is centralized, and finance gets clean, coded data on day one.
