Clement Christensen, Sr Director Analyst, Gartner
Mallory Bulman, Sr Director Analyst, Gartner

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. ...

Guest Keynote: Crafting the Future —Transformative Moments in the Digital Age
Magnus Lindkvist, Futurologist, Magnus Lindkvist AB.
The future often feels like a force beyond our control, dictated by AI, geopolitical turbulence, and Taylor Swift. But what if we could shape it ourselves, in everyday actions at home, during our commute, or at work—whether that’s online, in-person, or somewhere in between? Drawing on two decades of insights from scientific breakthroughs to cultural milestones, he reveals how the future is built in small, daily moments. One synaptic collision at a time. This talk will shift your view from seeing the future as something that happens to us to something we actively create. With stories of innovation and change, Magnus will offer an approach for individuals and businesses to take charge of tomorrow, turning the idea of an external, inevitable future into a personal and shared opportunity for growth and innovation. Join the session to discover how we can all play a part in crafting the future, one moment at a time. ... Show More Show Less
