2. **Inspiration and direction**. The spark and encouragement to focus on a transformative agenda at your practice and to inspire your team on the journey.
3. **Spotlight masterclass**. Learn from the Spotlight team and power-user Super VCFO’s. Dozens of who will be on-site and wanting to talk.
4. **Great connections**. This is a gathering of the top cloud innovators, thought leaders and trusted advisors. We’ll talk, drink, eat and learn together. The chance to forge new friendships and business connections is greater than at the mega-conferences.
