Table Talks

Small Group Sessions for Big Finance Questions

In partnership with ACCA

Step away from the presentations and into focused peer discussion.

Each table brings together a maximum of 10 senior finance professionals to share insights, tackle challenges, and explore practical solutions in a relaxed, off-the-record setting where openness and collaboration are encouraged.

There are 5 topics to choose from and each session is 45 minutes long, providing ample opportunity to dive deep into the topics that matter most to you and your team - whether that’s navigating transformation, leading through uncertainty, or driving innovation across finance functions. No slides, no sales pitches. Just focused, peer-to-peer dialogue in a structured, yet informal format designed to deliver real value.

Table Talk sessions are scheduled from 13:15 to 14:00. Please note that all sessions will run concurrently.

Sessions Include

With so many tools on the market, what’s delivering ROI? Talk candidly about what’s working in your stack and what you’ve walked away from across reporting, planning, consolidation, and more.

Building a Finance Team That Lasts

Hiring is tough, retention tougher. Talk through where others are finding great people, what’s working to keep them, and whether apprenticeships and new pathways are delivering.

Sustainable Finance: What Are Others Really Doing?

Forget the theory what does ESG look like in practice for finance teams? Join a peer-led discussion on how others are linking sustainability with budgeting, strategy, procurement, and reporting.
