CFO of the Future Summit
Emerging digital technologies and a wave of geopolitical and economic uncertainty require organisations to constantly adapt and transform. The role of the CFO has never been more exciting – or more challenging.
At our CFO of the Future Summit, you’ll dive into the opportunities facing your role as a finance professional – and be inspired by expert speakers, academic leaders and industry peers. Join us to gain the cutting-edge insights you need to future-proof your career.
This year’s conference will address a wide range of topics, from change management to the journey of digital transformation, through to the relationship between the CFO and the board. Additionally, our keynote talk will explore why data isn’t just fuel for AI – it’s the fine-tuning mechanism that determines whether your models deliver real value or minimal impact.
Then, in the Big CFO debate, industry leaders will reflect on the key discussions of the day.
Finally, you’ll enjoy a networking dinner at our vibrant Brussels campus, where you’ll connect with fellow CFOs, finance professionals and senior leaders.
