CFO Live Bolsters Program With New Speakers, Topics

CFO Magazine is pleased to announce the latest programming additions to its inaugural event focused on the future of finance.

Taking place on November 13 and 14 at the brand new Convene, located at 225 Liberty Street in the Financial District of New York City, this cross-industry event will bring to life the magazine’s 30-plus years of award-winning finance journalism.

The conference features 65 speakers and two stages of thought-provoking discussion and actionable insights from senior finance leaders. It will provide a unique forum for attendees to engage with fellow executives in discussions of the critical and controversial issues facing global businesses.

The CFO Live program is specifically curated to examine the most relevant topics on the minds of CFOs and their finance department team members. Not only will the conference address best practices and real-world solutions in an era of tremendous growth of digital tools, but it will also prepare CFOs for the likely economic changes ahead—challenges that will require retooled business models, revamped skill-sets in finance, and renewed urgency for driving efficiencies and supporting strategic decision-making.

Some of the recently added sessions and speakers are:
