Agenda


Executive Boardroom Session

Fortifying Trust, Risk and Security with AI

CFOs are tasked with identifying the finance processes where AI will make the most significant early impact. While evolving technology can serve as a threat to organizational security, it also serves as an ally in mitigating risks while enhancing efficiency.

Join this session to discuss how to:

  • Identify high return use cases for AI in the finance function
  • Understand and educate stakeholders on the benefits of AI and automation tools 
  • Prepare your organization and people for the adoption of new technology


Keynote Session

Transform FP&A Into an Enterprise Capability

According to Gartner’s research, more than 85% of FP&A teams struggle to sustainably support the complex business decision-making and planning needs stemming from economic turbulence. Today, CFOs must think beyond automation of routine FP&A work as a source of finance business partnering capacity and transform FP&A into a mindset that business decision-makers embody and practice.

Join this keynote for a deeper understanding of:

  • The best delivery model to sustain value-added decision-support in a turbulent economic environment
  • The simple shift in FP&A’s business partnering approach that drives decision-makers to internalize the FP&A mindset
  • The pragmatic use cases for AI and Machine Learning in FP&A



Breakout Session

Hearst Communication’s Journey to Harmonizing the ERP

Lack of standardization across an organization often results in higher costs, less transparency and reduced agility. One of the largest media and information services companies with hundreds of global businesses successfully unified its ERP to enhance efficiency, significantly reduce cost and enable long-term growth.

Join this session for a case study on:

  • Outlining the transformation strategy, timeline and expectations
  • Transitioning legacy applications to a singular, future-proof system
  • Adapting to change and measuring success
