Hi everyone! Following Irene's lead with the emoji bullet points:
π My name is Olivia MacDonald and I am a senior manager of Financial Systems and Operations at Vena.Β
π§ββοΈ I've recently taken up hot yoga and I am loving it (although my tune might change when the weather warms up in Ontario!). I also have a gorgeous dog named Chloe who enjoys snuggling on the couch and watching Netflix.
π‘ I find I learn something new from every Vena Conference so I'm really looking forward to that "ah-ha" moment. I also have the opportunity to speak on the panel Contemporary Skills for Strategic Finance Professionals so I am extremely excited about that session!

Hi everyone! To kick things off in this thread, I'd like to share a little bit about myself:
πββοΈ My name is Irene and I am the Community Marketing Manager at Vena.
πΆ Outside of work I spend my time with my retired racing greyhound and exploring trails in Ontario with him! I've been vegan for 3 years and I enjoy exercising (like running 5Ks and deadlifting!).
π§ What I'm most looking forward to getting out of Excelerate is networking with the amazing attendees, watching the amazing sessions, and even hosting a couple of them π
π€ What I'd love to give to the community is to help the Forum grow by nurturing this amazing community with great content and provide a space to share knowledge and best practices!
I'd love to get to know the other attendees and the community members through this thread! Please share your Name, Company, Title, Hobbies, What you'd like to Get out of Excelerate, and What you can Give to the community!

Hi everyone!
We are officially less than a week from Excelerate =SUM(it) 2022, and I couldn't be more excited to experience this together with the community!
This thread has been made so all session threads are centralized and for attendees to get to know each other!
β‘οΈ I'd love to have attendees "introduce yourself" and share your: Name, Company, Title, Hobbies, What you'd like to Get out of Excelerate, and What you can Give to the community!
To prepare the community and attendees for the event, the session threads were created ahead of Excelerate so that you can:
- Read each session's abstract so you know which ones to attend
- Ask any questions ahead of the session
- Have a place to come back to afterwards for follow-up Q&A and conversation!
I've added the sessions as replies to this post, organized by day belowπ
Lastly, which session are you most excited for? I'm particularly looking forward to the Evolving Relationships with Change Management Methods session to learn tips and tricks on how to bring about positive organizational change!
Thanks everyone! Looking forward to seeing everyone at Excelerate and in the Forum!
