Welcome to the 4th Annual Future of Finance Summit!

"We are all walking the same transformation journey"

This year, we come together to explore the forces shaping the finance profession in 2024 and beyond. The explosive growth of generative AI, advancements in data analysis & scenario planning, the evolving role of finance as strategic business partners have opened new possibilities for how we drive value. We've focused on talent and organizational design, the pursuit of "smart margin" through cost optimization, and investments in transformative technologies that enable growth. As we adapt to the complexities of today's world and manage risk, our goal is to equip finance leaders to be future-ready and resilient in an ever-changing environment.

"The best way to predict the future is to create it."

– Peter Drucker

As we gather in San Diego we find ourselves in a unique position to define not only the future of finance but the future of business. Together, we are empowered to influence not only the direction of our organizations but also our careers, our teams, and the broader finance profession.

This summit is our platform to develop new ideas and tackle the challenges ahead. Over the next three days, let’s engage deeply in learning, collaboration, and envisioning the future. Our aim is to leave this summit inspired and ready to co-create a future of finance built on trust, opportunity, and progress.
