Finance as the Power Core of Modern Business
While the world debates the next big breakthrough, the real challenge lies in adapting and reacting to a brave new world of technological advancement. But how to stay prepared in the face of the perpetually unknown and deafening pace of change? Our opening keynote is a challenge to everyone to control what we can control when it comes to digital transformation - rather than what we can’t - and focus on what truly makes us impactful finance leaders and the future of finance.
