ACT Annual Conference 2018 | ACT | 15 May 2018 | ACC Liverpool, Kings Dock, Liverpool L3 4FP, United Kingdom

Treasury professionals are operating in the context of a challenging marketplace. A combination of global instability, technological innovation and disruption and the unsettling effect of Brexit means we face a number of external headwinds. With over 100 speakers the conference will help make sense of this uncertainty, provide practical solutions to take back to the office and give delegates a competitive edge.

Treasurers are increasingly expected to plan for global instability in their organisations, make sense of technological innovation and navigate their business through risky disruption. In order to succeed in this challenging marketplace, treasurers need to build real influence in their organisations and harness real innovation to deliver increased value, impact and efficiency.
