Where CFOs and Finance Leaders Aligned, Advanced Their Capabilities, and Set the Agenda for 2026

Finance leaders and CFOs left the 2026 Future of Finance & CFO Exchange energised, challenged, and ready to redefine what finance can deliver. Across two days of high-impact discussions, they explored how to lead through constant disruption, harness AI to unlock faster, smarter decision-making, and strike the critical balance between short-term performance and long-term value creation. From bold transformation strategies to real-world approaches to resilience, capital allocation, and leadership, the Exchange proved one thing: the role of the CFO is evolving fast, and those in the room are shaping what comes next.

Attendee Feedback

I thought the level of engagement and interest was high in a wonderful venue. Many great and diverse insights provided by participants with stimulating conversations covering strategy, people, technology and processes. This type of event provides a great opportunity to learn from others and for some self reflection.

Very well organised and everyone in the room seemed to be really engaged and interested in the topics. Change is inevitable, I think finance professionals should come to the event as the requirements for accountants in today’s market are meant to address its current challenges.

Really valuable. Opened my eyes to the number of new technology solutions. Also consolidated my thinking about Finance Transformation and how it should be done. Got some great actionable insight into developing business partnering, and made me think a bit broader about what’s going on in Finance.

Really valuable to meet new people, get to know new trends around AI and RPA and also share experiences with others regarding transformation of finance departments.

I found the conference to be hugely beneficial and found many of the speakers Inspirational. I’m going back to my own organisation where we are currently implementing a financial shared service really excited about the future.

Invaluable forward looking view and sharing of experiences.

Good high level insights from different countries and industries, which helps us a lot and gave us new ideas and insights to move forward. Also proof that we're on the right track with our approach.

Overall the conference far exceeded my expectations, but there is lots of room for improvement. The caliber of presenting organisations was excellent.

That was a right balance between high level, startegical approaches presented by different companies and practical, simple examples which can be easily used/adapted in my organization.
