8:40 AM Keynote Panel - From Reactive Reporting to Predictive Finance – The Future of Forecasting & Analytics

How advanced analytics and agile planning unlock clarity in an uncertain world

Traditional finance reporting and static annual budgets can no longer keep pace with today’s volatility. Leading CFOs are transforming finance into a predictive, data-driven function, using advanced analytics, rolling forecasts, and real-time dashboards to anticipate change, guide strategic pivots, and build resilience.
This session explores how finance leaders are embedding modern forecasting and analytics capabilities into their operating models, turning finance into a forward-looking driver of business value.
Key insights:
• Predictive modelling for cash flow, working capital, and investment scenarios
• Rolling forecast methodologies that improve accuracy and agility
• AI-driven forecasting and scenario planning for volatile conditions
• Advanced data visualisation and executive dashboards that support rapid decision-making
• Data governance and integration strategies to unify disparate sources
• Building finance team data literacy to unlock full potential of analytics tools

12:40 PM Plenary: Finance at Game Time – Managing Reporting, Forecasting & Cross-Border Complexity When Deadlines Don’t Move

In global sport and entertainment, finance operates where revenues are volatile, operations span jurisdictions, and deadlines are immovable. When a major event goes live, reporting cannot slip and forecasts must adapt in real time.

Drawing on experience within a complex, multi-entity organisation, this session explores how finance leaders manage cross-border reporting, dynamic forecasting, and capital discipline under constant pressure. It demonstrates how strong data foundations, governance, and scenario-led planning enable finance to deliver clarity, control, and strategic value when there is zero margin for delay.

Key Takeaways

• Managing multi-entity, cross-border reporting complexity under shifting regulatory demands

• Building dynamic forecasting models that adapt to event-driven revenue volatility

• Maintaining control, governance, and data integrity in high-pressure environments

• Strengthening liquidity oversight and capital allocation when priorities change rapidly

• Translating event-driven finance discipline into practical lessons for any global organisation
