Disruption: Distraction or Opportunity? A Look at Today’s Liquidity Environment
The cybercrime landscape is constantly shifting, with criminals finding new and more sophisticated ways to gain access to your company’s information and funds. The most significant threat to today’s treasurers include the use of ransomware and an alarming increase in treasury fraud—from business email compromise to malicious insiders. To mitigate these risks the best defense is often a good offense. An expert panel of banking and corporate treasury professionals give you a comprehensive look at strategies for implementing a riskbased approach, effective technologies and the role insurance can play in preventing treasury fraud.
Treasury Fraud: Locking Down your Best Defense
Globally, cyberattacks through business email are one of the largest threats to corporates, accounting for more than $5 billion dollars in losses. Combatting this rampant fraud requires a combination of cybersecurity technology and vigilant human capital. In this panel discussion, Anadarko Petroleum and Rotary International share best practices in educating their human firewall to mitigate risk and an FBI agent stresses the need for ongoing education to aggressively combat threats.

Within a case study framework this session explores the legal and tax implications of using alternative investments as part of an investment strategy for pension assets, including common terms in agreements, best practices for institutional investors, side letter provisions to negotiate with investment funds, and strategies to minimize risk exposure to unrelated business income tax (UBTI).
Key Considerations with Alternative Investments for Pension Plans
Introverts naturally have innate abilities that are key to building relationships, which are critical to effectively communicate in any endeavor. This is especially true with a career in finance. Even if you’re not an introvert, understanding this superpower can unleash your own unique abilities in the same way. Learn how to turn introversion into jobs, assignments and opportunities. Gain an understanding of how introverts can take on more than may be perceived and how to utilize this trait to quickly and effectively close skills gaps and drive results.

Get Where You Want to Go and Keep Going: Managing Your Career Journey

Legendary quarterback Peyton Manning, the NFL’s only five-time Most Valuable Player and a 14-time Pro Bowl selection, has earned his place among the greatest quarterbacks in league history as a leader in nearly every statistical passing category. Peyton entered the NFL in 1998 with the Indianapolis Colts as the first overall draft pick. With the Colts, he amassed the most career touchdown passes in league history, was named a first-team All-Pro selection by the Associated Press on seven occasions, and in 2013, Peyton was named Sportsman of the Year by Sports Illustrated. He led the franchise to its first World Championship in 36 years during the 2006 season, earning MVP honors. During the 2015/2016 season, Peyton led the Denver Broncos to a 24-10 win in Super Bowl 50, making him the first starting quarterback in NFL history to win a Super Bowl with two different teams. During his time at the University of Tennessee, he claimed 43 records at the school, conference and national levels while graduating with Phi Beta Kappa honors. He led Tennessee to an SEC Championship as a senior in 1997 and earned consensus All-America honors. Peyton has continued his efforts off the field and serves as a member of the American Red Cross National Celebrity Cabinet and The Pat Summit Foundation Advisory Board. He and his wife, Ashley, established the PeyBack Foundation in 1999 to promote the future success of disadvantaged youth by assisting programs that provide leadership and growth opportunities for children at risk. Peyton continues to maintain a strong relationship with St. Vincent’s Children’s Hospital (Indianapolis), which in 2007 was renamed the “Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at St. Vincent.”

Reinventing Leadership for the Age of Machine Intelligence
We live in an age of wonder – cars that drive themselves, platforms that anticipate our needs, and robots capable of everything from advanced manufacturing to complex surgery. Automation, algorithms and AI are transforming not only business, but every facet of daily life. While many fear that robots will take their jobs, the rise of machine intelligence begs a more important question: what is the true potential of human intelligence in the 21st century? Mike Walsh, futurist and author of ‘The Dictionary Of Dangerous Ideas’ presents a vivid portrait of a brave new world orchestrated by machines that think, and how tomorrow’s leaders must adapt to survive and thrive in an age of accelerating technology.
How Technology, Demographics and Values Are Disrupting the Future of Work
Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, and Virtual and Augmented Reality are increasingly making certain job functions obsolete and the treasury and finance industries are not immune. These disruptive technologies are changing the nature of work, and how companies will need to operate in the future. Strategic futurist, Nancy Giordano, delves into both the advancing technologies and the critical shifts companies and the workforce must confront to stay relevant in the future.

Driverless cars, automated manufacturing lines, and AI-enabled news-writers at the Washington Post enable a single purpose – to free up human talent for high-impact decision-making. However, credit and cash management teams continue to rely on labor-intensive processes while the outcomes remain sub-optimal - represented by inaccurate visibility of cash flows and high costs of servicing credit sales. Today, it is impossible for decision makers and analysts to consume the ever-growing business datasets to improve future actions – forcing a reliance on static, inaccurate methods of forecasting or intuition. In this session, speakers share experiences and insights gained from working with data-scientists and machine learning to enable accurate cash forecasts and visibility into credit risk.

Blockchain for Reconciliation and Audit
The world is web-scaling. Peer-to-peer is exploding. Digital is nearly everything. And yet, payment processes remain heavily dependent on mainframes and manual intervention. Moving beyond the hype, proven blockchain technology can be leveraged to deliver frictionless reconciliation, create immutable audit trails for every transaction, and establish end-to-end, anti-tamper safeguards. While blockchain may seem new and confusing, this is a technology that has been battle-hardened in the real world for a decade already, so it is high time to put things in plain language for finance professionals. In this session, explore how to leverage investments in existing ledger platforms for intra- and inter-organizational payment flows, preserve operational privacy and secrecy, and scale to millions and billions of transactions—all while anchoring mathematical truth in widely witnessed evidence.

Evolving the FP&A Function Through Cloud Based Planning Software
The pace at which blockchain, machine learning, and AI are impacting finance can be overwhelming. Rather than react to solutions pitched by vendors or hoping that internal IT staff will present creative and efficient technological solutions, one FP&A team took steps to become its own technology innovator. Hear how the organization identified tech savvy staff on the team and in the hiring process, and then supported them with time and education. As a result, the team was able to develop and implement low-maintenance and low-cost solutions that link operational, financial, and forecast data so that FP&A can stop pulling reports and coloring charts and better analyze and predict the future.
