The Future of Finance and CFO Summit 2021 | IQPC | 16 February 2021 | Virtual Event

What is the Future of Finance Summit?

Prior to the pandemic and economic downturn, the finance function was already undergoing one of the biggest transformations in its history. Steps to integrate man and machine; to become more digitally enabled; to rely more on process automation and AI were already in place, with the aim to protect assets and manage costs. Such changes however, brings with it huge pressure, and as finance leaders, we’re left to ponder, how best do we extend our footprint in to the digital world, especially when for many of us, balance sheets are getting weaker and cash reserves are being eroded daily and crucially, is our digital transformation strategy a crisis management fix or a long-term solution?

Beyond this, CFOs and finance leaders must now, not only adapt to a rapidly changing external business environment and to the internal demands made of the finance function, but also provide their people with the right training, tools and resources to help them embrace digitisation too.

Continuing the theme of embracing digital, The 2021 Future of Finance and CFO Summit will be going virtual - 100% online! The event will not only ensure you meet like-minded finance professionals, but give you the opportunity to hear first-hand accounts from CFOs and finance leaders on how embracing change, innovating and planning for recovery, will help establish a framework to support cohesive, enterprise-wide transformation.
