The Future of Finance & CFO Exchange Europe returned last October, bringing together 60+ senior finance leaders for an exclusive, high-level gathering.

Against a backdrop of rapid disruption, from accelerating AI adoption to ongoing geopolitical uncertainty, the invite-only Exchange provided a timely forum for finance leaders to step back, share experiences and challenge conventional thinking. The agenda featured a carefully curated mix of workshops, keynotes and strategic roundtables, designed to support confident decision-making in complex environments.

Finance leaders from organisations including Maersk, Nordea, Takeda, Danone, EDF, Barry Callebaut, Cargill and Lonza shared first-hand perspectives on critical topics such as agentic AI, capital allocation, CSRD, and people-centric leadership, offering practical insights grounded in real-world experience.

Delivered in a confidential, peer-led setting, the Exchange focused on actionable learning, open discussion and meaningful connection, helping finance leaders strengthen resilience while unlocking new opportunities for innovation.
