2024 Digital Finance Conference
The CFO of the future
Join the fourth edition of our Digital Finance Conference – and join the revolution in financial leadership.
To succeed, today’s finance leaders need so much more than financial know-how. They need to be able to see the big picture, to anticipate and respond to trends and phenomena like (Gen)AI, climate change, investor negotiations and the war for talent.
Join us to delve into these subjects – and look towards a future where success isn’t simply achieved, it’s sustained.
Come along and dive into the topics that will define tomorrow’s CFO, including:
- The digital CFO revolution
- Winning the war for talent
- Navigating climate change
- Mastering the art and science of negotiation with investors
- And more!
Join us to take part in expert session with leading CFOs, technology experts and world-famous academics.
The event rounds up with an inspirational keynote talk from Hod Lipson – the ground-breaking Columbia University Professor in Robotics and AI. His accolades include being named as Esquire magazine’s Best and Brightest – and his lab has been listed as one of the 25 Most Awesome Labs in the US by Popular Science. Forbes has listed him as one of the Top 7 Data Scientists in the World – and his TED talk is the most viewed on AI.
His talk will be on The Next AI – a deep dive into what’s driving AI, how to use it and how to anticipate its future.
Afterwards, there will be networking over dinner with CFOs, finance leaders and company representatives. It promises to be an intimate, relaxed and thought-provoking finale to the day.
