In cooperation with

WELCOME

Gearing Up for Growth

The role of treasury continues to be key to the economic security of organizations. The ongoing upturn in developing and emerging markets across the globe means that treasury departments have to be investment-ready to meet the needs of their company's growth agenda. While being able to capitalize on growth areas, treasurers also need to be one step ahead of the ongoing challenges still facing developed areas of the world. Evolving financial risks, regulatory changes, and general financial uncertainty are now a daily part of life for treasurers, and being able to respond, react, and adapt to these are critical.

The reshaping and advancement of technology continues to potentially improve quality, speed, and volume of information, therefore providing more transparency and control to the treasurer. This, in turn, accelerates and enhances decision-making processes. Attend this event to hear how leading organizations are using applications from SAP to effectively evaluate and respond to changing business conditions with accurate, timely financial data. Also hear how they are using the latest technology to monitor and control the cash and risk position across their enterprises.

We have focused more than ever on interactivity this year, to give you the opportunity to get all your questions answered. With "Meet the Experts" forums, scheduled sessions and demonstrations from our partners, plus an interactive panel discussion on "The Ever?Expanding Role of the Treasurer," we hope you will participate in this event ? not just attend. There will be numerous opportunities to network with your peers during structured time within the overall agenda.

By popular demand, we have now taken this event to the beautiful city of Rome, where we hope you will join us for what promises to be a valuable and thought-provoking event.

We look forward to meeting you in Rome!

Great detail is needed, while having the "big picture" in mind at all times. Does this translate to a more rewarding career or a route to an early heart attack? Is all this additional responsibility really good for the treasury career? Attend this panel to hear a lively discussion of key topics.

EVENING EVENT Wednesday, June 26, 2013

You may be expecting the usual after-conference meal, but this year we would love to welcome you to an evening event with a difference. We will be indulging your senses with an evening of sun, sea, and sand. The event will be held at Singita, a beach resort in the quaint fishing village of Fregene.

After a long day you will be able to leave your business suit behind and enjoy a relaxing networking evening on the beach, while delighting in beautiful food and a variety of entertaining acts.

An evening at Singita, known as the "miracle beach" and Rome's best-kept secret, will enable you the rare opportunity to truly unwind during a conference, so we very much hope that you will be able to join us.
