2:30 - 5:30 PM

AI in Practice: A Live, Hands-On Working Session

Three hours, six stations, 100 seats, no slides. Bring a real problem from your close, budget, or workflow and leave having built something against it. Move at your own pace. Stations will include:

Vibe Coding: 101

For folks who have never vibe coded before. We will walk you through building a custom dashboard you can walk away with.

Vibe Coding: Advanced

For the attendees already building. A deeper session beyond the first prototype: structuring prompts, handling real data, and knowing where to stop vibe coding and start engineering.

Spend & Budgeting with Brex

A working session with the Brex team, the exclusive Day 1 sponsor, on running spend and budgets when your company is moving faster than your process.

Demo Station

Explore Campfire at your own speed with guided product click-throughs and live sandboxes to explore.

Ask a Customer

Sit down with finance leaders already running on Campfire for an opportunity to ask questions like:what implementation was like, how are they managing their agents, and why they went with Campfire.

Campfire Support Team

Bring us the workflows you have been wanting to make agentic,, the question you never opened a ticket for, or the feature request on your list, and work through it with the people who built it.

6:00 - 8:00 PM

Welcome Remarks

A quick welcome to Basecamp 2026, what to expect from the day ahead, and how to get the most out of your time here.

9:10 - 9:50 AM

AI Transformation at Enterprise Scale: Trust, Complexity, and Control

Everyone is talking about AI transformation. Few are talking about what it actually takes for a large, heavily regulated organization to adapt to and see results from that change. We're bringing together some of the industry's most prominent finance leaders to unpack what it takes to bring your team into the AI era - including the trust and governance required, the watchouts to plan for, and the roadmap to get there.

9:50 - 10:30 AM

Rewiring your Finance Stack for Hyper-Growth

When you’re scaling fast enough, and your stack stops being a support system and becomes the architecture your growth depends on. A mistake means losing time you can’t afford to spare. We're bringing together operators from some of today's most competitive, fastest-growing AI-native companies to share how they've architected a stack built with scale in mind - so complexity becomes an advantage, not an obstacle.

10:30 - 11:00 AM

Coffee and Networking

Refill, browse the swag store, and catch a demo from our sponsors, then find the finance peers you came here to meet.

11:00 - 11:40 AM

Writing the Playbook for AI-Enabled Audits

AI is showing up in the audit process faster than the rules can keep pace with. Auditors and finance teams are both figuring this out in real time - and the companies getting it right are treating it as a shared effort, not a compliance hurdle. This session unpacks what AI-enabled audits actually look like today: what's expected, what's still untested, and what it takes to build a process that holds up under scrutiny.

11:40 AM - 12:20 PM

Building your AI Native Finance Team

Creating an AI-native finance team isn't just about adopting new tools or reimagining workflows - it's about enabling and hiring differently from day one. We're bringing together operators who understand the skill sets worth prioritizing, the interview questions that surface them, and the systems that turn individual AI fluency into a shared way of working. Whether you're looking to enable the people you already have, or are building your org from the ground up, this session hands you the shortcuts to success.

12:20 - 1:30 PM

Lunch and Networking

Grab a plate, find a table, and keep the morning's conversations going with the peers, speakers, and sponsors around you.

1:30 - 2:10 PM

The AI CFO: Leading Strategy at the Speed of Toast's Growth

Toast added roughly 7,000 new restaurant locations last quarter alone — and grew revenue 22% without scaling its finance team at the same rate. Elena Gomez, President and CFO of Toast, joins us for a fireside session to discuss what it takes to lead a finance organization through that kind of compounding growth, including how she used AI to take the mechanical work off her team's plate, what she chooses to fill that space with instead, and what today's CFOs can do with the room AI creates — leading with strategy and empathy, while always keeping the customer as your North Star.

2:10 - 2:40 PM

Agents @ Work

Two back-to-back sessions inside real finance functions. We're going under the hood with Campfire customers who have AI agents running in production today — not pilots, not roadmaps — to show the actual use cases they've automated, how the work moves now, and what it took to get there.

3:10 - 3:30 PM

Coffee Break and Networking

Grab a coffee, make one more pass through the expo and swag store, and trade notes with the people around you.

3:30 - 4:30 PM

What's Next for Campfire: A First Look at the Future of Finance

Get a first look at what we've been building. The Campfire team takes the stage to unveil the features we're most excited about for 2027 — and the thinking behind them — as we push the boundaries of what finance and accounting software can do. This is where the category is headed next.

4:30 - 6:30 PM

Networking & Reception

Great food, drinks in hand, and the city stretched out in front of you. Time to celebrate the day, close the loops you didn't get to, and enjoy the best views in San Francisco with the people who make the Finance community what it is.
