There were so many attendees for the FP&A track at this year’s AFP Annual Conference in Miami that we will add more sessions and utilize larger rooms when Annual Conference is in Las Vegas, October 27-30, 2013, Mandalay Bay Hotel & Casino. The centerpiece of the 2012 conference was the announcement of the timeline for the first testing window for our Certified Corporate FP&A Professional. Candidates will have the opportunity to be in the inaugural class of the FP&A Certification in February/March 2014. Visit http://fpacert.afponline.org/ for further details.

Thanks again to everyone who has taken an active role in our efforts to reach out and expand the FP&A practice.
