We are an industry partner at the Finance & Accounting Technology Expo (FATE), on October 29th-30th, 2024, at the Javits Convention Center, New York City. Hosted by The CFO Leadership Council and Strategic CFO 360, FATE is a premier event in finance and accounting. It provides an unparalleled platform to engage with professionals, explore the latest technology, and drive the conversation around the future of finance.
Preparing Finance Professionals for the Future
The IFOL team are eager to connect and discuss finance skills training, professional certification, and development opportunities.
We believe that the rise of new technologies, such as AI and automation, goes hand in hand with the need for robust training and skill development. As technology redefines traditional finance roles, professionals must stay updated with the tools and methodologies to enhance efficiency and accuracy. This is where IFOL steps in—our training and certification programs equip finance teams not only with technical skills but also with the strategic thinking needed to adapt and thrive in a tech-driven environment.
The integration of technology with professional development ensures that finance teams remain agile and capable of leveraging innovations like AI to streamline operations, improve decision-making, and enhance overall business outcomes. At FATE 2024, we will showcase how our programs empower professionals to seamlessly blend technology with their day-to-day work.
Keynote Presentation by Debra R. Richardson
One of the highlights of our participation at FATE 2024 is the keynote address by Debra R. Richardson, a recognized leader in vendor management and accounts payable. “Artificial Intelligence at the User Level in Vendor Setup & Maintenance”, is an eye-opening exploration of how artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping vendor management.
In recent years, AI has transitioned from a niche technology confined to IT departments and large enterprises to a practical tool that finance professionals can leverage in their daily workflows. With the surge in availability and functionality of tools like ChatGPT and other AI-driven platforms, even teams that still rely on manual processes in vendor onboarding and maintenance now have the opportunity to streamline operations, enhance communication, and increase efficiency.
Debra’s session will delve into how vendor teams can use AI to elevate their processes. Through real-world use cases, demonstrations, and a focus on security, her talk will equip attendees with actionable insights into how AI can transform vendor management.
