What to Expect at Splash Orlando 2026

Close faster. Forecast more often. Support the business with clearer answers. And do it all while managing change, complexity, and growing expectations across the organization.

In these ways and more, finance teams are rising to the moment.

That’s the backdrop for OneStream Splash Orlando 2026, taking place May 18 – 20 at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort. This year, Splash offers the opportunity to examine what the finance AI era really in practice — including how AI lessens the burden on finance teams.

Here’s what to expect at the conference.

A Clear Vision for Finance in the AI Era

At Splash Orlando 2026, you’ll hear how finance cannot remain a reflective, backward-facing organization. Finance must stop reporting on the past and move toward actively steering the business forward.

Splash can help you get there.

Across keynotes and sessions, the focus will be purpose‑built AI for finance — AI designed with the precision, transparency, and governance finance teams need to excel. The conversations will center on how teams are using unified, contextualized data to improve decision‑making, increase confidence, and respond faster to change.

The event will feature a visionary keynote from OneStream Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Tom Shea. In it, he'll outline a roadmap for the future of the Office of the Chief Financial Officer (CFO). He'll also highlight how finance AI is helping teams move from insight to action.

Learning From Finance Teams Doing the Work

One of the most valuable parts of Splash is hearing from teams already putting big ideas into practice.

At Splash Orlando 2026, you’ll hear real‑world customer stories from organizations such as Amer Sports, Cox, and Milo’s Tea Company. They'll share how they’re using unified data and AI‑driven insights to improve transparency, scale finance operations, and support business growth.

These sessions aren’t just an opportunity to brag (though we love it when our customers do!). Speakers will also share what prompted change, where they focused first, and what they learned along the way. Through those insights, you'll find the takeaways relevant whether you’re early in your journey or it's well underway.

Deep, Focused Sessions

With over 70 breakout sessions across seven tracks, Splash Orlando 2026 has enough content to meet you wherever you are in the finance journey.

Sessions and learning labs will explore the following topics (and more):

• Improving forecast confidence in a volatile environment
• Reducing manual effort across close and consolidation
• Strengthening data governance and trust
• Connecting planning, reporting, and forecasting into a more seamless process

In addition, you can expect hands‑on demonstrations and technical learning labs that show how modern finance processes work in practice — no irrelevant hypotheticals.

Insights From Outside Experts, Applied to Finance

Splash also brings perspectives that help finance teams think differently about decision‑making and execution.

Here's a preview of this year’s expert spotlight keynotes:

• Nate Silver, bestselling author and publisher of the popular Silver Bulletin Substack, on understanding risk, navigating uncertainty, and making the right decision when it matters most.
• Kindra Hall, bestselling author, on the power of strategic storytelling to drive alignment and execution.

These sessions are designed to spark new ways of thinking that your finance teams can apply directly to their work.

Community, Connection, and Candid Conversation

Beyond the sessions, Splash fosters deep professional connections.

With more than 2,400 attendees expected, Splash Orlando 2026 will be the largest Splash event to date. The conference will bring together finance leaders and practitioners across planning, close, consolidation, and transformation roles.

Highlights include these opportunities, among others:

• The Forward Finance Executive Roundtable, where finance leaders discuss how AI is delivering tangible value today and what capabilities can future‑proof the finance function.
• Empowering Women in Finance, a networking event focused on leadership, ambition, and driving change across the profession.

Just as often, the most valuable moments happen between sessions. Attendees share experiences, compare notes, and learn from peers who understand the challenges of modern finance.

And It Doesn’t Stop in Orlando

Following Splash, the momentum continues with the OneStream World Tour, a series of high‑energy, one‑day events across Paris, London, Madrid, and Amsterdam in June.

Each stop brings the OneStream vision and practical finance insights to local communities. These events will include focused discussions on AI readiness, data governance, performance management, and operational agility.

So Why Attend Splash Orlando 2026?

Finance teams attend Splash because they’re thinking ahead.

They’re asking these questions:

1. How do we move faster without sacrificing trust in the numbers?
2. What does finance AI really look like in day‑to‑day work?
3. How can finance play a more active role in guiding the business?

Splash Orlando 2026 will help answer those questions — with authentic, actionable examples, hands‑on learning, and a community of finance professionals navigating the same changes.
