Six 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. 1.

The pressure to move faster is growing, but speed alone is not a competitive advantage. In many organizations, more data, more dashboards, and more reporting have created complexity that slows decisions rather than improving them. In this keynote, Mat Reynders shares how leading FP&A teams increase decision velocity by simplifying what matters, building trust in key metrics, and creating accountability across the business. Through practical examples and real-world forecasting transformation, the session explores how finance can move from reporting on decisions to actively shaping them. Key takeaways: - Identify where complexity, reporting volume, and unclear ownership are slowing decision-making - Build trust in a smaller set of decision-critical metrics that drive action rather than debate - Create planning and forecasting processes that increase accountability and influence business outcomes in real time - Position FP&A as a catalyst for faster, higher-quality decisions across the organization
