Moderated roundtable discussions
4 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: - Conviction and capital: where CFOs are actually placing bets right now (and where they're quietly pulling back) - The skills nobody budgeted for: what CFOs are actually hiring for now - Where the line still holds: what CFOs won't hand to AI, even now - Sounding sure when you're not: how CFOs actually talk to the board mid-uncertainty Connect with peers carrying the same accountability, benchmark decisions candidly, and leave with perspectives you can apply immediately in your own organisation.
