Rethinking Event Finance: A Hands-On Workshop on Finance AI

Wednesday September 16, 2026 13:15 - 14:00 EDT Richardson A

Workshop leader: Seth Halvaksz

Track: Enterprise

A working session on the finance work nobody wants to do twice: reconciliation, event-level cost, month-end. We'll preview the direction and the early designs then hand it to the room. If you own the numbers at your venue, this is where you get to change what we build before it's built.
