The Format
The Format
  • Learn. Network. Meet.
    The Finance Directors' Forums combine conference sessions, peer networking and supplier meetings into a time efficient and focused event that is unique to you.

    No time wasted
    Using our unique appointment system, we'll make sure that your valuable time is not wasted and that you are engaged learning about topics that are interesting to you and meeting suppliers who you have chosen to meet based on your upcoming needs.

    Expertly organised and delivered
    Based on your choices, we'll let you know one week before the event who you are due to meet and which conference sessions you are attending via our on line event management systems. After the event we'll make all the pertinent information available for download including material from the conference sessions and details of all the supplier companies you have met.

Networking
Networking
  • There are extensive opportunities to network and build relationships with fellow CFOs and FDs in the luxurious surroundings of the Aurora or The Four Seasons, Park Lane. Our annual research shows that delegates value this element of the programme as highly as any other aspect.

    Our events provide neutral, judgement-free platforms on which to -
    • Consider and test new ideas
    • Find out more about approaches being adopted by other senior professionals
    • Deepen knowledge in a specific area
    • Meet new supplier companies through direct access and peer recommendations
    • Develop joint initiatives and strategic alliances

    Many delegates benefit from the speed meetings on the first evening, where the opportunity to meet up to 5 suppliers in 5-minute slots offers quick fire exchanges. Many clients have had successful follow-ups with contacts they made through this – and it also serves as a nice ice breaker on your first night!
