Finance Futures: The Executive Summit returns for its third year on Wednesday 24th February 2027, bringing together Yorkshire’s finance and business community for a morning of expert insight, learning and networking.
Following two successful years, the summit is moving to a new, bigger venue – The Queens Hotel in Leeds, with tickets now on sale and a 20% early bird discount available using the code HEADSTAR20 at the checkout.
Organised by Headstar in collaboration with TheBusinessDesk.com, the half-day event will explore the key challenges, trends and opportunities shaping finance and business in 2027.
What’s on the agenda?
This year’s programme features keynote speeches, expert panel discussions and a practical AI case study, covering three key themes:
Economic Outlook and Business Growth
What does 2027 have in store for the economy, and what will it mean for businesses? Hear expert perspectives on the economic outlook alongside a panel exploring what makes M&A successful, from due diligence and financing through to integration.
The Changing Finance Landscape
Explore how businesses are approaching commercial finance and funding, the growing role of fractional finance professionals, and how AI and automation are being implemented within finance teams.
Finance Leadership and Private Equity
Discover how the role of the CFO is evolving, the skills needed to create value beyond the numbers, and the realities of working in a private equity-backed business.
Alongside the presentations and discussions, delegates will have plenty of opportunities to connect with fellow finance leaders and business professionals from across Yorkshire.
The event is also CPD-accredited, providing 3.33 hours of recognised learning.
Looking ahead to Finance Futures 2027
Speaking about the return of the summit, James Roach, Managing Director at Headstar, said:
“Finance Futures has gone from strength to strength over the past two years, and we’re looking forward to welcoming even more finance leaders to our new venue at The Queens Hotel in 2027.
“There’s a huge amount of change happening across finance at the moment, and AI is undoubtedly one of the biggest developments. But for many finance leaders, the question is how to make the most of these technologies while continuing to manage the everyday demands of running a successful finance function.
“That’s exactly what we’ll be exploring at Finance Futures, bringing together experienced finance and business leaders to share what’s working, discuss the challenges ahead and provide practical insights that delegates can take back to their own organisations.”
