          New this year:
          CT Community Innovation Showcase!

          Have you or your team been working on something new and innovative? We are looking for teams and members to be part of the first ever CT Innovation Showcase at this year’s Spring Tune Up on May 26. Think of it as a science fair for audit and finance. This is your chance to show off your work and maybe even get some new ideas from your community.

          What we’re looking for

          We’re looking for examples of using technology to make work more efficient or more effective. Even if they aren’t fully finished yet! That might be:

          • process automation with AI;
          • a dynamic reporting dashboard built in Power BI;
          • more efficient workflows;
          • powerful data analysis tools; or
          • anything else you think fits the bill

          What we’ll provide

          We’ll provide you with:

          • a booth in the CT Innovation Showcase hall
          • a table and two chairs
          • power and WiFi

          You just need to provide a laptop or CPU with monitor and a couple of people to show off your projects. The hall will be open throughout breaks and the lunch period so the 1,000 attendees at this year’s Spring Tune Up can stop by to see what you’ve created!

          How to get involved

          Simply fill out this form. Someone from our team will be in touch to confirm everything. We can’t wait to see you there!
