the roots of EPM and how that has inspired the evolution of Host,” said
Christelle Flahaux, CMO, Host Analytics. “Even though this year’s theme
is filled with fun celebrations of time-gone-by, Perform 2019 will focus
on the future and the next chapter of our evolution. We’re excited to
bring together hundreds of forward-thinking CFOs and finance
practitioners who are looking to educate themselves on the latest in
finance trends and technology. We can’t wait to see what they take back
to their organizations and how they lead the evolution of their
business.”
