Anaplan Financial Planning & Analysis Close Up 2025
The Anaplan Financial Planning & Analysis Close Up is the annual event for those interested in Anaplan FP&A. We organize the Financial Planning & Analysis Close Up for our customers and finance professionals who (want to) work with Anaplan FP&A solutions.
On Tuesday, September 23, we will once again go in depth with peers during the Finext Anaplan Close Up. Not with a standard update, but with an honest and inspiring program that shows how much there is still to be gained.
Many organizations use Anaplan, but often only part of it. Whereas with the right deployment, you can automate much more in your planning and forecasting. Less manual work, more insight. That saves time, energy and frustration.
During this afternoon we'll look together at what is technically possible and how others are tackling it. From smart use cases and new AI functionalities to open discussions about practice.

We kick off this day together with the participants of the Board and Pigment Close Up. Because no matter how different the tools are, we share the same challenges.
