Conference Tracks at a Glance
Leadership Influence: Leading With Conviction, Speed and Influence
CFOs must be the decisive voice in the room, or they’re not in the room. This track sharpens the CFO’s edge on enterprise leadership, board engagement, time discipline and influence across the C-suite. We’ll tackle how to lead through ambiguity, assert strategy in a fog of data and drive action, not just insights.
Enterprise Financial Strategy: Navigating Volatility, Seizing Growth
The macro may stay uncertain, but your capital strategy can’t. This track centers on how CFOs reallocate capital, structure flexible partnerships, fund innovation under pressure, and stay agile in the face of geopolitical, supply chain and policy risk.
Technology and Innovation: AI, Automation and ROI — No More Pilots, Only Payoffs
By 2026, boards won’t tolerate AI theater. This track moves CFOs past experimentation to results: where to double down, where to pull back and how to scale AI with measurable value. We’ll break down AI ROI, tech stack integration, ERP transitions and what it really takes to win the talent and technology race.

Clement Christensen,
Sr Director Analyst, Gartner

Sr Director Analyst, Gartner
CFOs continue to invest in digital initiatives across Finance, but most report that their transformations feel like a collection of technical and tactical projects that are not truly reshaping the value that Finance can and should deliver to the broader organization. This is because a critical ingredient for success is missing: a new identity. In this keynote, we will share why identity brings power, purpose, and lasting change to the future of Finance. We will also dive deep into the differentiating habits that leading Finance teams use to shape and embrace a new identity for the future of Finance, equipping you to take these habits back to lead your team effectively.
