Full Agenda, Networking Events Announced for IOFM’s Accounts Receivable & Order-to-Cash Conference
Portland, ME (PRWEB) February 10, 2016 -- The Institute of Finance & Management (IOFM) announced its full agenda this week for the 2016 Accounts Receivable & Order-to-Cash Conference. The complete 3-day conference schedule is now available within the conference’s 8-page brochure, hitting the mail this week, and also on the conference website, http://www.iofm.com/ar-conference.
“IOFM’s 20-year history has been building up to this important event for AR and O2C professionals,” said Brian Cuthbert, Executive Director of IOFM. “We’ve hosted many smaller AR-focused events in the past, and the all-new AR & O2C Conference is the culmination; a central educational and relationship-building gathering for professionals working in order management, billing, cash application, exceptions management, collections, O2C, and more.”
The AR & O2C Conference agenda features over 30 educational sessions divided among three concurrent conference tracks. The tracks are organized to offer multiple sessions on the following categories over the duration of the conference: payments, compliance, metrics & benchmarking, shared services, Order-to-Cash, AR & O2C automation, billing, credit, collections, Accounts Receivable, leadership, and process & controls.
Two half-day workshops, along with AR and O2C certification classes, kick off the conference on May 24. General sessions begin mid-afternoon with the opening keynote and a panel discussion, “Effectively Managing Multiple Generations.”
Networking events at the conference include one of the conference’s most popular features, the Peer-to-Peer Roundtables. The roundtables will segment the audience based on AR department size, shared service, or Order-to-Cash operating environments. Attendees are encouraged to interact with others of a similar working environment for both educational sessions and after-hours activities.
In addition to the Peer-to-Peer roundtables, networking events at the conference include cocktail receptions on May 25 & 25, a certification celebration exclusively for IOFM certification holders on May 24, multiple networking breaks in the exhibit hall, and networking breakfasts and lunches.
The 2016 conference will wrap up with a long-standing AR Network membership feature coming to life: Ask the Experts Live. This concluding session will be audience-led, consisting of a five-person IOFM/AR Network expert panel, who will answer any financial operations questions brought forth by the audience.
