Shaping the Future of Finance Leadership
Finance Futures: The Executive Summit is Yorkshire’s flagship event for senior finance and business leaders. Founded by Headstar in collaboration with BusinessDesk.com, the summit was the brainchild of our Managing Director, James Roach, who saw the need for a dedicated event, where CFOs, FDs and senior finance professionals could share valuable insights, debate the challenges in the year ahead, and build stronger connections across the region.
Why Finance Futures Was Created
Finance leaders are facing increasing demands, from digital disruption to economic uncertainty. Yet, opportunities to come together and have honest, forward-looking conversations were limited. Finance Futures was created to bring CFOs, FDs and business leaders together, so they had the opportunity to share ideas and challenges and focus on what’s next for their businesses, their teams, and the wider economy.
What a Typical Summit Looks Like
Held annually each February, the summit brings together more than 150 senior finance and business professionals for a half-day conference in Leeds city centre. The agenda is usually built around three key themes and includes a combination of keynote speeches, live panel discussions and interactive breakout discussions. Alongside the formal sessions, the summit provides plenty of opportunities for networking and peer-to-peer learning among Yorkshire’s senior finance community.
The launch event featured prominent economists, and highly respected CFO speakers from a number of high-profile businesses including Volkswagen, Mamas & Papas, Myenergi and DNA Payments.
What Attendees Have Said
The response to Finance Futures has been overwhelmingly positive, with attendees praising the fantastic line-up of speakers, commenting on how much they enjoyed the “very insightful” agenda and coining the summit “an excellent event – five stars!”
Another attendee added, “I thought it was a great pace, interesting debates and interesting, varied speakers,” while others reflected on the “engaging and inspiring panel discussions” and concluded that it was “an amazing day – so well organised and executed.”
