AI for Competitive Advantage: Where Is the ROI?
For CFOs, the challenge is no longer whether to invest in AI, but how to measure, govern, and scale it in a way that drives sustainable enterprise value. This roundtable brings CFOs together to examine the financial reality behind AI adoption. We’ll explore frameworks for modeling financial impact, scenario planning, and risk mitigation and share real-world experiences, financial frameworks, and governance models to ensure AI becomes not just a technology investment—but a disciplined engine for growth, margin expansion, and long-term value creation.

AI, Data, and the Next Frontier of M&A Value Creation
Artificial intelligence and advanced analytics are reshaping how deals are sourced, diligenced, and integrated. CFOs now sit at the center of decisions about investments in data, systems, and talent to capture these opportunities. Join host AlixPartners to discuss how CFOs are deploying AI in the deal lifecycle—and where the hype meets real business value.

Growth and Resilience: What's the CFO Playbook?
Rates are high, trade rules keep shifting, and supply chains are brittle—yet boards want growth. Economist Impact’s latest research shows CFOs stepping up—leading digital/AI governance, embedding risk and ESG, shaping operations, protecting product/IT spend, and strengthening data—yet liquidity and capital-allocation confidence lags. Discussion will focus on the CFO resilience stack—modern treasury, AI scenarios, micro-signal risk radar—plus flexible costs, KPIs/governance, and resilience ROI.
