Everything is better when we’re together. Our theme for Perform 2022—Better, Together—underscores the value of collaboration, communication, and cooperation between finance, accounting, and every corner of the business. Better, Together also reminds us that we’ll be together in person for Perform 2022.

Finance, accounting, and FP&A practitioners from Planful customers will take the stage to lead sessions and share their stories. You’re sure to glean valuable insights, explore how they solved common challenges, see the detail of their solutions, and understand the tactics you can immediately implement.

Here are just a few sessions scheduled for Perform 2022 and led by Planful customers:

• Hear how Vantage Specialty, a global natural chemistry company, tamps down operational chaos and overcomes supply chain uncertainty. Chris Tracy, the company’s Global Director of FP&A, will explain how he’s also providing its product, commercial, and procurement teams with detailed insights on fast-changing raw materials costs.
• Join foodservice industry supplier Golden State Foods to learn how it models, budgets, and forecasts its business at the SKU level. Lauren Bissell, the company’s Continuous Improvement Manager – FP&A, will explain how it overcame complexity and partnered with KeenVision to create detailed models for multiple business groups.
• Learn how FIGS, an apparel and lifestyle brand for healthcare professionals, reduces operational friction by bringing more of the business into the financial process. Grant Brooks, the company’s Finance Director, will also explain how FIGS reduces friction by streamlining its use of financial information.
• Hear how foodservice solution provider National DCP uses bespoke financial reports to cut through the clutter and deliver valuable insights to its entire business.

Perform 2022 will also bring together scores of finance industry thought leaders as we all navigate today’s continued uncertainty and prepare for tomorrow’s trends on remote and hybrid work, innovative approaches to finance, potential economic shifts, and more.

Grant Halloran, Planful’s CEO, will deliver a thought-provoking keynote to kick off Perform 2022. Expect Grant to explore the most important trends impacting the Office of the CFO, detail the top concerns of leading CFOs, and explain how progressive regional and international companies are turning uncertainty into opportunity. We might even hear about a few exciting new product launches.

Doug Henschen, Vice President and Principal Analyst at Constellation Research, will also be at Perform 2022 to discuss the SEC’s looming mandates related to climate risk and carbon emissions disclosures. He’ll explain why even private companies should be ready for these new rules and what CFOs and finance, risk, and sustainability teams can do to prepare for coming environmental reporting expectations.

Perform 2022 also brings Barbara Corcoran, entrepreneur, investor, and star of ABC’s award-winning “Shark Tank”, as the event’s headline speaker. Besides being an 11-year veteran of the hit show “Shark Tank,” Barbara built the best-known brand in the brokerage business, is a best-selling author, and hosts several business podcasts. Yeah, we’re super excited for Barbara’s keynote!

We’re also excited to see Chris Ortega, CEO of Fresh FP&A, as he brings his energy and enthusiasm to the Perform 2022 stage. Chris’s innovative consulting work builds on his experiences as Senior Director, Global Finance at Emarsys and earlier FP&A roles at WebLink International, Covance, ChaCha, and Ernst & Young. Expect Chris to deliver engaging sessions on empathy in finance and optimizing people and performance across your teams.
