      The Conference

      The year 2026 marks a milestone for the role of the CFO, as Finance Leaders are called upon to balance financial stability, technological transformation, external pressures, and strategic business guidance. The evolving responsibilities of the CFO require multidimensional leadership that combines financial insight, resilience, data intelligence, and cross-functional collaboration — all within an international environment defined by heightened uncertainty and accelerating technological and energy transition.

      The 24th CFO Forum — the annual flagship gathering of Finance Executives — returns on June 9, hosted by KPMG in Greece, welcoming 400+ senior finance leaders for an inspiring day of discussions, presentations, knowledge exchange, and networking.

      With the central theme “The CFO Shift: Tech. Talent. Transformation.”, the conference highlights the shifting role of today’s CFO — a role that is rapidly transforming in a year shaped by rising cost pressures, geopolitical uncertainty, and accelerated digital transformation.

      Core objective: strengthening resilience, foresight, and strategic leadership.
