Most CFOs have sat through an AI pitch. Far fewer have watched a fellow finance leader build something real, live, starting from nothing. Dave Sackett, VP Finance at Persimmon Technologies, will build a purchase order requisition agent on stage, using prompts the audience gives him in real time.

It's one finance leader showing exactly how he'd approach this himself, mistakes included, so you can judge for yourself whether it's worth trying with your own team.
