About the Event

There’s never been a tougher—or more exciting—time to be a CFO. You’re a strategic leader, a truth-teller, a culture-carrier, a master communicator, a futurist, a dealmaker, a high-stakes negotiator, a mentor, a technologist—and so much more. 

Join us for an unforgettable afternoon to learn from fellow finance executives and celebrate the exceptional achievements of the nation’s leading Chief Financial Officers.

Recognition by peers of the highest caliber is an unrivaled honor in any endeavor: in the competitive set of U.S. business leaders, the competition is exceptional. Indeed, award recipients represent an elite collection of business leaders.
