Level Up

Kick off the conference with a warm welcome from our co-founders as they set the stage for what’s ahead. In this 30-minute session, they’ll introduce this year’s “Leveling Up” theme—what it means, why it matters, and how it connects to the challenges and opportunities you’re facing today.

You’ll get a preview of what to expect throughout the event, from key sessions and product insights to opportunities for deeper learning and connection. Most importantly, they’ll share their perspective on how you can get more value from what you already have while discovering new ways to expand your impact. It’s the perfect starting point to align, get inspired, and make the most of your time at the conference.

In this session, our leadership will take you behind the scenes of our company’s evolution—how we’ve grown, adapted, and expanded alongside our customers. Rather than a product pitch, this is a candid look at the decisions, lessons, and turning points that have shaped where we are today.

We’ll explore how customer needs have influenced the direction of our platform, and how that same partnership continues to guide what comes next. Through this lens, you’ll gain a clearer understanding of how to align your own growth with the tools and capabilities you already have—while preparing for what’s ahead. It’s a thoughtful conversation about progress, partnership, and what it really means to level up together.

Customer Case Study with Dooney & Bourke

Dooney & Bourke, an American leather goods brand known for handbags and accessories, began with a familiar problem: too many FSGs, too much manual effort, and a dependency on a retiring SME. In this session, we share our “crawl, walk, run, fly” roadmap, from stabilizing core financial statements in GL Connect to building a scalable reporting foundation with SplashBI. You’ll see how we consolidated 30+ FSGs into three standardized Excel-based statements, automated the statement of cash flows, and streamlined distribution with consistent security and version control. Then we’ll cover the next phases: adding business intelligence with dashboards and KPI definitions, introducing analytics for trend and variance analysis, and preparing for AI-enabled insights.

Many organisations adopt self-service BI tools like Power BI to enable faster access to data and insights. However, as reporting requirements grow, challenges around governance, data consistency, security, performance, and maintenance often begin to surface.

In this session, we will explore how organisations can move from fragmented reporting approaches to a more governed and scalable analytics framework using SplashBI. Learn how centralised data models, pre-built business logic, enterprise-grade governance, and self-service analytics can work together to improve reporting accuracy, reduce duplication, and empower business users with trusted insights.

Customer Case Study with Electric Power Board of Chattanooga

In many organizations, compensation remains an afterthought in HR analytics — not because it lacks importance, but because it is managed through disconnected worksheets outside standard workforce reporting models. This makes it difficult to gain a clear, consistent view of compensation across departments, regions, and job roles.

As complexity grows, leaders struggle to answer critical questions around workforce spend, regional pay differences, and role-based cost drivers. This session explores how organizations can elevate compensation from isolated worksheets into actionable workforce intelligence. By enabling high-level visibility into compensation by department and job title — with the ability to drill into regional views and individual employee compensation profiles — organizations can move seamlessly from summary insight to detailed analysis. Attendees will learn how this approach supports stronger budgeting, workforce planning, and pay equity discussions while reducing manual effort and improving decision confidence.
