Who is Finance Forum for?

Finance Forum is designed for senior in-house finance professionals. To keep the experience focused and relevant, all registrations are reviewed and subject to approval. This helps us ensure the event delivers the most value to attendees and exhibitors alike.

If you’re leading teams, shaping strategy, or making financial decisions, this is the event for you.  

This includes but is not limited to: 

  • CFOs & Group CFOs 

  • Finance Directors

  • Heads of Finance & FP&A 

If you’re not sure whether the event is right for you, feel free to get in touch, we’re happy to help.

If you represent a company that provides services or solutions to finance professionals and are not exhibiting, you require a commercial pass to attend. CloserStill Media will have the final decision to validate your pass and spot checks will be carried out. 

What makes Finance Forum different from other finance events?

Unlike traditional finance expos, Finance Forum delivers a high-quality experience designed for senior in-house professionals. With bespoke sessions, industry thought leaders, table talks, and pre-booked 1-2-1 meetings, the focus is on meaningful conversations and actionable insights - not volume, but value.
