About
AI in Finance Automation Summit 2026: From Hype to ROI 2026
Finance has successfully navigated the first wave of digital transformation — standardizing ERP platforms, automating transactional processes, and driving efficiency through shared services and RPA. These initiatives proved that finance could evolve beyond a back-office function into a strategic business partner.
Today, the mandate has shifted again. The next phase of finance transformation is not about more automation — it is about intelligent autonomy. Finance leaders are now tasked with embedding AI into the core of decision-making, enabling predictive insight, real-time control, and measurable business impact at enterprise scale. The challenge is no longer whether AI works, but how to govern it, scale it, and extract sustained ROI.
The AI in Finance Automation Summit 2026: From Hype to ROI is not an introductory forum on emerging technology. It is the essential executive platform for CFOs, Controllers, Heads of Finance Transformation, and Shared Services leaders who are responsible for designing and leading this next phase of intelligent finance. Taking place on 21 October 2026 in Boston, United States, this one-day executive summit will convene 200+ senior finance leaders to:
Operationalize Intelligent Finance
Move beyond pilots and proofs of concept to deploy AI across Record-to-Report, Order-to-Cash, FP&A, and Treasury — delivering faster close cycles, improved accuracy, and lower operating costs.
Translate AI Investment into Measurable ROI
Establish the metrics, governance frameworks, and business cases required to quantify value, manage risk, and secure continued executive and board-level sponsorship.
Redefine the CFO Mandate
Engage in candid, peer-driven discussions on AI governance, regulatory scrutiny, talent transformation, and the evolving role of finance as a real-time, predictive intelligence function.
Join us for a day of executive-level keynotes, finance leader roundtables, and curated networking designed to deliver practical playbooks for your 2026–2028 finance automation roadmap. This is where finance leaders move beyond experimentation, challenge convention, and define the future of AI-driven finance.
