The role of the modern Chief Financial Officer is changing. In recent years the onset of the world financial crisis has led to ever growing responsibility for the CFO with an increasing number of CFOs playing a pivotal role in the organization's business health, well-being and success and carrying an elevated responsibility to the company, shareholders, customers and staff.

Not only is the CFO now responsible for identifying and assessing profitable business ventures, signing off on technology purchases and leading M&A activity. Additionally, for many companies the CFOs role has expanded to include managing business functions such as an expanded HR role, outsourcing, IT management, environmental issues, logistics and site management. With such an array of responsibilities it is vital that today's CFO is a strategic thinker who is able to assist in leading not only a company's executive team, but also its entire workforce in adapting to change.

The CFO Summit is designed specifically with the CFO in mind - to assist forward-thinking CFOs to meet these challenging demands.

The CFO Summit will serve to bring together CFOs who are currently investing in innovative solutions that will positively impact their bottom line and solution providers who will need to position themselves at those precise investment hot-spots in order to reap the benefits.
