Maximize Your Impact at GFOA 2026
GFOA 2026, scheduled for June 28–July 1 in Chicago, brings together leaders in public finance to focus on strategy, governance, and fiscal innovation at all levels of government. This event draws financial officers, CFOs, budget directors, policy makers, and procurement leaders from municipalities, states, and public agencies across the United States and Canada. With economic uncertainty and digital transformation impacting public sector investments, attendees arrive with clear agendas around system upgrades, debt issuance, risk management, and multi-million-dollar budgeting decisions.
The conference is an efficient environment for solution providers working in software, audit, advisory, and financial systems to connect directly with budget owners and program influencers. Early access to the enriched attendee list from Vendelux gives sales and marketing teams visibility into the public finance leaders who will be onsite. With this insight, you can prioritize outreach to municipal finance executives, understand their procurement cycles, and initiate conversations aligned to fiscal-year planning calendars.
How Sales, Marketing and RevOps Teams Can Use This Attendee List
Government finance decision-makers approach GFOA with procurement timelines, technology needs, and long-term infrastructure in mind. With Vendelux’s enriched attendee data, your teams can identify existing public sector prospects, refine contact lists by department or role, and surface budget authorities within target geographies.
Outreach ahead of the event can focus on finance modernization, grant management partnerships, or compliance implementation—tailored directly to attendee responsibilities. The enriched conference attendee list enables marketing to craft relevant content based on job function and agency size, while sales can pre-book time with senior officials overseeing procurement.
For revenue operations, data from conference attendees improves pipeline scoring by isolating public institutions with near-term purchasing activity or funding allocations. Post-event, your teams can execute informed follow-ups that move beyond generic thank-you notes and showcase how your solutions directly support finance transformation and transparency requirements.
Timing Is Everything
