Why Attend the EPM Summit?

As an Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) decision-maker or influencer, you’re tasked with driving strategic, operational, and financial planning to new heights. In today’s rapidly evolving EPM landscape, staying informed about the latest tools, processes, and innovations is critical to keeping your organization ahead of the curve. The EPM Summit, hosted by Darwin Analytics at the Bellagio in Las Vegas from February 17–20, 2026, is your fastest, most effective way to explore the full spectrum of EPM solutions and chart the future of your performance management strategy.

Why Now? A Pivotal Moment for EPM

The EPM market is at a turning point. With legacy products like SAP BPC’s mainstream maintenance ending for some of its versions, many organizations are actively reevaluating their EPM platforms. At the same time, new AI-driven functionalities are transforming how businesses plan, analyze, and execute. Whether you’re looking to modernize your existing solution, adopt complementary third-party tools, or explore entirely new platforms, the EPM Summit is the ideal place to begin—or accelerate—your journey.

Why the EPM Summit Stands Out

The EPM Summit is uniquely designed to empower you with vendor-neutral, comprehensive insights in a condensed, high-impact format. Here’s why attending is your best opportunity to stay abreast of the EPM market and make informed decisions:

  • Explore All Your Options in One Place: You’ll experience a wide range of products, processes, and prebuilt solutions—saving you months of research and costly evaluations.
  • Accelerate Your Decision-Making: The Summit’s curated sessions, expert-led workshops and networking allow you to go beyond marketing hype to understand how solutions deliver practical value for your organization. 
  • Stay Ahead of AI and Emerging Trends: AI is reshaping EPM, and the Summit highlights cutting-edge capabilities including agents, machine learning and predictive analytics.
  • Network with Peers and Experts: Connect with fellow EPM practitioners, thought leaders, and solution providers in a collaborative environment. Share challenges, exchange ideas, and discover best practices that you can bring back to your organization.
  • Vendor-Neutral Perspective: The Summit is committed to providing unbiased, actionable insights. Our focus is on empowering you to make the best choices for your business, not pushing a single vendor’s agenda.

Why Not Other Conferences?

You have options when it comes to professional development, but most fall short of delivering the focused, EPM-specific value you need:

  • Single-Vendor User Conferences: These events are tailored to one vendor’s ecosystem, limiting your exposure to alternative platforms or complementary third-party solutions. If you’re exploring a change or seeking to optimize your EPM stack, you’ll miss the broader market perspective the EPM Summit provides.
  • Generalist Finance or Accounting Conferences: While valuable for broad professional development, these events rarely dive deep into EPM-specific tools, processes, or innovations. You’re unlikely to find the targeted content or hands-on experiences needed to evaluate EPM solutions effectively.
  • Generalist AI Conferences: AI is transforming EPM, but generic AI events lack the context and specificity required for EPM practitioners. You’ll wade through irrelevant sessions to find limited content that applies to your planning and analytics needs, wasting time and resources.

The EPM Summit is purpose-built for EPM decision-makers and influencers. It’s the only event where you can immerse yourself in the full EPM ecosystem, from established platforms to emerging AI-driven tools, in a setting designed to educate and inspire.

What You’ll Gain
