Vena Close Up 2026
You work in Vena every day, and Vena keeps moving. Every release adds functionality, and most of it reaches you as release notes, with the question of what it means for your own model still open.
The Vena Close Up gives you one afternoon to get those answers. The Vena team presents where the platform is heading, including AI, the Acterys acquisition and Vena Consolidation. Then Gwan Pieters of Agro Care shows how his team works in Vena today, and why they got the basics solid first. You leave with answers to the questions you have been saving up, and with ideas for your own Vena environment.
Program
After a short kick-off, the Vena team opens with the roadmap: what is coming to Vena, including AI and the Acterys acquisition. Next, Vena shows how Consolidation adds the close to the model you already built. After the break, Gwan Pieters, Sr. International Controller at Agro Care, shares how his team works in Vena and why they chose to get the basics solid before adding AI. We wrap up at 16:15 and close with drinks and bites.

Kick-off
The Vena roadmap, presented by Vena
What is coming to Vena, including AI and the Acterys acquisition. You hear what is live today, what changes for existing users and what is still open.
Vena Consolidation
Vena began as planning and reporting. Consolidation adds the close, so you go from forecast to close on the model you already built. The Vena team shows how that works.
