A focus on your personal development

Remember to record your professional development in your CPD log, which can include business and behavioural skills as well as technical skills. Key development sessions include presentations on team management and value-based leadership in the silent theatre at the ACT hub. You can also find out more about our qualifications, and take home a FREE headshot to use for your LinkedIn profile, taken by our onsite professional photographer.

Topical content

Keep up-to-date on the latest issues affecting treasurers today, including topical sessions on geopolitics, macroeconomic trends, risk management and inflation. Other agenda highlights include practical sessions on supply chain structures, open banking, and working capital, and a thought-provoking debate on the role of treasury in navigating the transition to net-zero in a panel involving our co-lead sponsors, NatWest and HSBC.

“The ACT Annual Conference provides an excellent opportunity to network with other treasury professionals, bankers, software providers and advisers, whilst also offering a wide range of presentations and interactive workshops. This is a ‘must attend’ event for my whole team.”
Group Treasurer, National Express
