Welcome to the leading event focused entirely on the transformation of the modern day finance organization
We are pleased to bring you an exclusive agenda featuring the latest trends and leading practices from global companies. This event is designed to enable finance organizations to be efficient and effective, but also integrated and flexible.
Our agenda goes well beyond the why and wow factors, by taking a "how to" approach to address the challenges and opportunities of executing transformation and adding strategic value to the business, keeping change management top of mind all along the way.
This conference brings together more than 150 senior-level practitioners in finance and accounting, financial planning and analysis, business unit finance and controllership, to network and share best practices and lessons learned.
