World Trade Center Cyprus, in collaboration with the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Cyprus (ICPAC), is organising a CFO-level Conference on “Leadership beyond Finance” that will take place on 23 May at the Amathus Beach Hotel, in Limassol.

Prof. George Giaglis, Director of the Institute For the Future (IFF) at the University of Nicosia, will be giving a keynote presentation on “Understanding Blockchain and its Implications for Financial Professionals”. IFF was founded to explore the hypothesis that technological progress will cause rapidly accelerating societal change over the coming decades.

The CFO Conference will be a full-day event, with a total of 5 Keynote Speeches and two Panel Discussions. The goal is to bring together bright minds to give talks that are idea-focused, on a wide range of subjects. The aim is to provoke thoughts and ideas on how CFOs can leverage their positions within their respective organisations, adding significant value to their business in the process.

Among the topics to be discussed on the day are: “The Road Ahead for CFOs”; “The CFO Creating & Enhancing Value”, “Blockchain Technology from a Financial Control Perspective”, and “Cybersecurity”.
