Why this format
The real value isn't on the slides.

By the time a decision reaches the boardroom, the spreadsheet looks clean. What you don't see is the pressure, the missing data, and the options that all had a cost. That's the part we put on stage.

What makes this edition

This year we go behind the decisions themselves - the trade-offs, the doubts and the outcomes that rarely leave the room. Told by the people who lived them, from both sides of the table.

Numbers meet
judgment.

What you'll take back

Perspective that stays.

The best ideas here change how you look at your own numbers - long after the programme ends.

Delegates listening at CFO Forum Europe

Peers who make the same calls you do - and decided differently.

Decisions reopened honestly, with the outcome attached.

Formats built for candour, not another deck.

Ideas you can put to work the week you're back.

On the programme

Not another panel about transformation. Real decisions, reopened on stage by the people who made them - with the outcome attached.

Sessions worth
the flight.

Want to be
on stage?

Every year we give the floor to people who can speak openly about the wins, the mistakes and the decisions that shaped them.

If you've got something worth sharing, we'd like to hear from you.

Who's in the room

The people who make
the community.

People who know a good conversation is often worth more than another presentation.

Why Prague, why November

The conversation
starts before
the conference.

An exclusive Welcome Day on 18 November, an evening walk through the heart of the city, and two networking evenings built for the conversations that happen off the record. Prague in the low season - quieter, sharper, easier to navigate.

Partnership

Reach the people who
sign the budget.

Partners are part of the content, the conversations and the community - in front of the right people, in the right context.

Interested in partnering?
We'll put together terms that fit.

01
Reach the decision-makers
Your brand in front of CFOs, CEOs and board members - the people with the mandate to decide, and the budget behind it.
02
Content that resonates
Enter the programme itself - a panel, a workshop, a theme. Your point of view becomes a natural part of the discussion.
03
Relationships that last
Two days in one room - shared meals, evenings, unplanned conversations. Contacts that have a reason to continue.

the numbers.
