Will you join us at the Asia-Pacific CFO & CPO Forum in May 2024?

Let’s face it – Australia’s economy has had a tumultuous time over the last few years. From the pandemic, to rising inflation and geopolitical tensions, we know that you’re likely facing increased pressures from all sides: customers, suppliers, investors, and employees alike.

As expectations shift and the roles of CFOs and CPOs transform, you’re faced with new challenges such as: 

  • How to cut costs and stay competitive – especially as value chains face ongoing chaos
  • How to get ahead of AI’s rapid evolution?
  • How to truly lead the way in ESG, from net-zero transition to modern slavery compliance
  • What role you play in cyber defence within your organisation. 

They’re big questions – and they might need a few new perspectives to answer. 

That’s why, for the first time in our 17-year history, we are bringing Australia’s leading Finance and Procurement professionals together for the Annual Asia-Pacific CFO & CPO Forum in May 2024 to unlock a new era of collaborative leadership. 

Facilitated by highly respected Company Director, Rebecca McGrath, the Forum allows you to connect with industry peers old and new to share learnings, insights, strategies and tips that will help you get ahead of today’s real-world challenges. 

Founder of The Faculty, Procurious and The Source, Tania Seary, says “when we bring together great minds, we can solve even greater problems. Put yourself in the middle of this Forum and you are bound to come out with the confidence to take the lead on the big issues!”

This year’s theme is ‘Take the Lead’ and we’ve curated a stellar lineup of speakers who will empower our community to lead boldly in the present, armed with the resilience, clarity, and purpose to take on any challenge and opportunity thrown your way.

One such leader joining this year’s event is Sami Makelainen, Research Fellow for the Institute for the Future, who brings expert insights on the evolving opportunity of AI. 

“AI’s impact on business operations is only beginning, particularly when it comes to generative AI. The Forum provides an opportunity to come together to forecast its evolution and how we can harness it positively as a collective for mutual benefit, while mitigating risk,” says Sami. 

Sami will be joined by global thought leaders including former ACCC Head, Rod Sims AO; leading economist, Ian Harper AO; 2024 Olympics Chef de Mission, Anna Meares; Rio Tinto Chief Executive, Australia, Kellie Parker; Crestone Chief Investment Officer, Scott Haslem; AICD Managing Director & CEO, Mark Rigotti; former AGL Chairman, Graeme Hunt; and Westpac Board Director, Chris Lynch.  

Join us on May 23-24 at Cape Schanck Resort in Victoria for an unmissable exploration of the new, pivotal and complementary roles CFOs and CPOs play together in leading business and igniting change.
