Moderated roundtable discussions
Multiple discussions will run in parallel, each focused on a challenge CFOs are actively navigating right now. Choose the table most relevant to you and join a candid, peer-led conversation with CFOs facing the same pressure and trade-offs. Each table is moderated by a senior finance leader to keep the discussion grounded, practical, and relevant, with no presentations and no passive listening. Come prepared to challenge assumptions, compare approaches, and share what is actually working in your organisation. A snapshot of this year’s roundtable themes: - Running finance on a fractional model - How finance leaders balance efficiency, talent, and inclusion without creating trade-offs -The ERP migration that actually finished on time - Unlocking company value through HR and Finance partnership Connect with peers carrying the same accountability, benchmark decisions candidly, and leave with perspectives you can apply immediately in your own organisation.
