11th CFO Strategies Forum MENA

“I had a great time! The forum gave me the opportunity to interact with incredible people. Exchanging perceptions about common challenges with peers is super exciting. We’ll have many follow ups.”

Forum Overview:

As the slump in oil prices is starting to weigh on businesses in the region, CFOs are gearing up to take on increasingly high levels of responsibility in helping their organisations navigate the waters of global economic fluctuations.

A strategist, a number cruncher, a strategic advisor, a catalyser for change: today’s CFO is multi-faceted. The CFO Strategies Forum MENA is the only platform focused on covering the different aspects of a CFO’s role, arming the attendees with the right tools to overcome their biggest challenges.

Over two days, the forum brings together over 120 Chief Financial Officers, CEOs and industry experts to Discuss industry trends, catalyse the region’s continuous growth and provide them with unparalleled networking opportunities.

The CFO Strategies Forum also features the MENA CFO Awards, which recognise individuals and organisations for their outstanding achievements and revolutionary practices.
