AFP 2026 Conference: Complete Guide for Finance Professionals

If you work in treasury, FP&A, or corporate finance, you’ve probably heard colleagues mention “AFP” this time of year. Here’s what you actually need to know before you register.

What Is AFP 2026?

The Association for Financial Professionals Conference, known as AFP 2026, is the organization’s flagship annual event for treasury, payments, FP&A, and corporate finance professionals. It takes place November 8-11, 2026, at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. More than 7,000 practitioners are expected to attend, making it one of the largest gatherings in the finance industry each year.

One quick note before we go further: there’s another organization with the same acronym, the Association of Fundraising Professionals, which runs a separate event called AFP ICON for nonprofit fundraisers. If your work touches cash management, treasury, payments, or planning and analysis, you’re in the right place.

Where and When

Dates: November 8-11, 2026 (four days)
Venue: Mandalay Bay Convention Center, 3950 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89119
Airport: A short rideshare from Harry Reid International Airport (LAS)

The four-day format gives attendees time to move between sessions, visit the exhibit hall, and still have room for the networking that tends to matter as much as the education itself.

Who Should Attend

AFP 2026 pulls from a wide range of roles across the finance function:

Corporate treasurers and treasury analysts working on cash, liquidity, bank relationships, and investments
FP&A professionals focused on forecasting, budgeting, and variance analysis
Controllers and CFOs shaping broader financial strategy
Payments and risk specialists tracking fraud prevention and emerging technology
Solution providers and consultants supporting these teams

Sessions run across seven tracks, so early-career analysts and long-time CFOs tend to find content pitched at their level rather than one-size-fits-all programming.

What’s on the Agenda

Expect practitioner-led sessions rather than pure vendor pitches. Topics span cash and liquidity management, AI in finance, payments innovation, fraud and risk, leadership, and the future of the finance function. The conference also offers continuing education credit for the CTP (Certified Treasury Professional) and FPAC (FP&A Certification) designations, along with general CPE credit, so it can double as a way to maintain your certification hours.

Pricing

Early-bird full-conference pricing (available through June 26) runs $1,399 for AFP members and $1,794 for non-members. Membership pays for itself quickly if you’re attending, since the gap between member and non-member pricing is several hundred dollars on registration alone.

Why People Keep Coming Back

Ask attendees what they remember most, and it’s rarely a single session. It’s the conversations between sessions, the shared war stories about a liquidity crunch or a system migration gone sideways, and the sense that everyone in the room is dealing with similar pressure right now. That’s part of why AFP has grown into the largest finance and treasury conference in the world rather than staying a niche event.
