What to expect at the GENCFO Academy

This October, GENCFO’s two day virtual festival of learning for accounting and finance professionals is back – with a new name! Formerly known as the Bootcamp, the rebranded GENCFO Academy is here, even bigger and better than before. Let me tell you all about it and how you can join us…

We have 40 expert speakers from companies including ASOS, Honda, Asda and Starbucks all ready to share their expertise and knowledge on the digital finance function with you.

Several winners of the 2022 Digital Finance Function Awards will also be joining us – we really do have the industry’s finest ready to speak to you at the GENCFO Academy! This includes…

Chloe Fletcher and Laura Walker, Senior Directors of Finance Transformation at Asda

Manraj Othi, Head of Finance and Transformation EMEA at Starbucks

Ben Lyttleton, Football Journalist and Author at FA (Football Association)

Kate Curnow, Deputy General Manager Business Administration at Honda Motor Europe

…and so many more!

The content will include live-streamed sessions, master classes, live podcasts, fireside chats, emerging tech and much more.

Be inspired by The Shift Live, where our popular thought-leadership interview series featuring finance leaders will come to life.

Be educated in our masterclass sessions and transform your approach to the digital finance function.

Be motivated by our Rising Stars Panel as they share how they’re creating the finance function of the future.

Be ambitious at our personal development sessions, where you’ll get expert coaching on career advancement, mental wellbeing, leadership and presentation skills.

Be supported at the CFO Clinic which will tackle technology challenges and support you to solve business problems yourself.

There’s a lot of learning to digest at the Academy… but you don’t have to watch it all on the day! You can watch all the sessions on demand once they are uploaded after the Academy has finished. This means you can learn more whenever you have the time.

You can also pick and choose what sessions you would like to take part in. These sessions are to help you progress in your l digital finance function journey – so whatever session you want to join, do it!

We want you to enjoy the Academy if you’re joining live, so we make sure you have a chance for you to step away from your screen at the end of each session. There’s also an hour for lunch each day.

If you would like to join us on the 8th and 9th of October, find out more and secure your ticket here!
