Moderated roundtable discussions
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. A snapshot of this year’s roundtable themes: 1. Building finance teams that think, challenge, and lead, not just report with Rachael Methal, Somos 2. Pressure-testing growth signals before capital is committed with Dai Shi, The Washington Ballet 3. Decision guardrails that accelerate the business without increasing risk with Caroline McAuliffe, Fannie Mae 4. AI with intent: where CFOs invest, where they pause, and why 5. Maintaining confidence when assumptions keep breaking 6. Influence without formal authority Connect with peers carrying the same accountability, benchmark decisions candidly, and leave with perspectives you can apply immediately in your own organisation.
