Is AFP Annual Conference Worth the Trip?

By Rachel Julian, Editor-in-Chief · · 3 min read

A sales traveler's ROI read on AFP Annual Conference: what it is, who actually gets value, and the test for whether it clears the cost of the week.

Direct answer: AFP Annual Conference is the largest US gathering of corporate treasury and finance professionals — the AFP annual conference on payments, liquidity, risk, and treasury technology, at Mandalay Bay, held mid-November in Las Vegas. It earns the trip if you work in corporate treasury or finance — treasurers, FP&A, and the banks and fintechs that serve them. Skip it if treasury and finance aren't your function; outside that world it's a specialist event. The test: will you advance a banking, payments, or treasury-tech decision? Those relationships get worked here — come with an agenda.

Skip it if: treasury and finance aren't your function; outside that world it's a specialist event.

The ROI test

will you advance a banking, payments, or treasury-tech decision? Those relationships get worked here — come with an agenda. That is the whole discipline: a conference is a spend against a quota like any other trip. Run it through the Conference ROI Planner — if the pipeline case doesn't clear the cost, the honest answer is to stay home and send one person, not the team.
