Learn how CFOs and finance leaders are responding to AI, regulatory change, and talent challenges—and what it takes to build a future-ready finance organization.

The accounting and finance profession is at a pivotal moment. Rapid technological disruption, evolving regulations, and a growing talent crunch are fundamentally reshaping what it means to lead in finance.
RISE 2040 brings together accounting and finance professionals from major firms, the GBS sector, and corporate organizations to explore how the profession can respond proactively to these waves of change rather than resist them. As disruption accelerates, the question is no longer whether change will happen, but how leaders will choose to navigate it and create opportunity.
Over three days, hear directly from CFOs and finance leaders who are navigating this shift in real time. Through practical sessions and real-world examples, you’ll explore how finance is evolving from scorekeeper to strategic value partner, how AI and data are reshaping operating models, and why leadership mindset and talent strategy now matter as much as technical expertise. Leave with clearer perspective on what it takes to build a resilient, future-ready finance organization.
