Pigment Close Up 2025
The Pigment Close Up is the annual event for those interested in Pigment. We organize the Pigment Close Up for our clients and finance professionals who (want to) work with Pigment solutions.
On Tuesday, September 23, we will once again go in depth with peers during the Finext Pigment Close Up. Not with a standard update, but with an honest and inspiring program that shows how much can still be gained. During this afternoon we will look together at what is technically possible and how others approach it. From smart use cases and new AI functionalities to open discussions about practice.
