Top 7 Sessions You Can’t Miss at AFP 2025

AFP is the top event for finance and treasury professionals to learn about trends and innovations, network and get together. The event, taking place in Boston from Oct. 26-28, is packed with workshops, panels and sessions. This makes it challenging to find the sessions that will deliver the most value. To help, we’ve created a list of the top seven sessions that can’t be missed.

We chose these sessions because they cut through the fluff and deliver value on the various economic and financial trends and changes treasurers are facing, and deliver practical strategies for dealing with them. They also provide treasurers with tools for forecasting, data analysis, liquidity management, and more (which can also be enhanced by AI).
