Table of Contents

AFP’s finance and treasury conference is useful for professionals comparing processes, technology and service providers. Start with a treasury or finance workflow rather than a broad vendor category. Cash visibility, forecasting, payments and financial planning can require different evaluation teams and integration work.

Dates and location

  • Event dates: 2026-11-08 to 2026-11-11
  • Location: Las Vegas, United States

Use the official event information to confirm the venue, registration route and the activities covered by your pass before arranging travel.

How to focus your event research

Choose a single objective for the first round of research. A sourcing decision, a partnership introduction and a product evaluation need different evidence. Use these areas to organize your shortlist, then check each company’s current offering and role against the official event resources.

  • Treasury operations
  • Payments and cash management
  • Financial planning and analysis
  • Finance technology and implementation services

Explore the exhibitor and attendee overview

For an overview of the company and people records available in Lensmor, explore the AFP 2026 exhibitor and attendee insights. Use the audience mix to narrow your research before reviewing individual records in the product. Lensmor’s recorded profiles are event-related research signals; they do not represent the organizer’s complete registration database or confirm that every person will attend.

Start with the relevant company categories and geographies rather than the largest available list. Review the coverage and classification shown on the overview page, then open Lensmor to research available individual companies and people. Confirm company fit and the reason for a meeting before treating a recorded profile as a prospect.

A practical meeting plan for AFP 2026

Align educational sessions with a current workflow question, then use vendor meetings to examine the relevant product and service options. Bring examples of the process and information flow. After the conference, ask for a scoped demonstration that reflects the actual systems and responsibilities in your organization.

Questions to take into priority conversations

  • Which treasury or finance process needs improvement?
  • What banking, ERP and data integrations are required?
  • Who owns implementation, controls and ongoing operation?
  • What practical demonstration or process review would establish fit?

Prepare a shortlist the team can use

For each priority company, record its role, the evidence behind the fit, the question you want to resolve, the appropriate contact route and a named internal owner. Keep possible customers, suppliers, partners and competitors distinguishable. The result should be a short research queue that another colleague can review without repeating the entire investigation.

Protect time between appointments to write down what was actually discussed. Separate an agreed next step from a promising introduction. In follow-up, send the document, demonstration request or working-session proposal that the other party asked for, and give the internal owner enough context to continue the discussion.

Is Lensmor’s audience overview the official attendee list?
