About AFP Conference


The conference built by finance professionals, for finance professionals.

AFP Conference is where the treasury and finance community comes together to learn what is changing, compare what is working and build the relationships that move careers and organizations forward.

Hosted by the Association for Financial Professionals, AFP 2026 brings together more than 7,000 treasury, payments, FP&A and corporate finance professionals for four days of education, networking and real-world insight. The event takes place November 8–11, 2026, at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas. 

What makes AFP Conference different is the community behind it. Sessions are shaped by practitioners and subject-matter experts who understand the challenges finance professionals face every day. That means the content is practical, relevant and focused on what matters now — from cash and liquidity to AI, payments, fraud, risk, leadership and the future of the finance function.

AFP Conference is not just a place to hear what is next. It is a place to talk with the people building it.


A Conference With History — and Momentum

For more than three decades, AFP Conference has brought the treasury and finance community together in major cities across the country. Each year, the event combines practitioner-led education with big-picture perspectives from leaders in business, economics, sports, media, innovation and culture.

Over the years, AFP Conference has featured keynote speakers who bring perspective from the highest levels of leadership, business, sports, media and culture — including former U.S. Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton; inspirational figures like John Cena, Michael Strahan and Michael J. Fox; thought leaders and authors like Malcolm Gladwell, Ian Bremmer and Adam Grant; and entrepreneurs with powerful motivational stories, including Daymond John and Bert Jacobs.

That mix is part of what makes AFP Conference different: attendees get practical, education built and delivered by treasury and finance professionals, alongside main-stage conversations that challenge how they think about leadership, change, risk, resilience and what comes next.

Why Attend AFP 2026?

Because finance is changing fast — and the best way to keep up is to learn from people who are facing the same pressures, solving similar problems and testing new ideas in real time.

At AFP 2026, you will find practical sessions, peer networking, keynote speakers, solution providers and space to step back from the day-to-day and think bigger about where treasury and finance are headed.


AFP Conference is where the profession meets — and where the next version of finance starts to take shape.
