September 24 Round Table

A confidential discussion for CFOs on AI investments, governance, ROI, and executive decision-making.

This round table is designed as a practical, peer-level conversation for finance leaders who want to strengthen how they evaluate AI investments. We will explore the questions CFOs should ask before committing to an AI initiative — and how asking better questions can lead to better-informed investment decisions.

The session is designed as an interactive discussion rather than a presentation. Participants are encouraged to share experiences, questions, and practical observations from their own organizations.

Featured Discussion: AI Use Cases—What's Working and What Isn't

Join fellow CFOs and finance leaders for a candid discussion on real-world AI use cases, including successes, failures, lessons learned, and best practices.

  • Share an AI use case your organization has implemented.
  • Discuss what worked, what didn't, and the lessons learned.
  • Exchange practical best practices with fellow finance leaders.

Come Prepared to Share

Participants are encouraged to bring one AI use case from their organization for discussion. This is a confidential, peer-led conversation focused on practical insight, real experiences, and candid learning—not product demonstrations or sales presentations.

Participant Discussion Guide

To help make our discussion more valuable, we invite participants to review this brief discussion guide before the session. It outlines the conversation format and provides a simple framework for preparing one AI initiative your organization has implemented, piloted, or seriously evaluated.

Whether your experience involved measurable success, unexpected challenges, or an initiative still under evaluation, your perspective will contribute to a richer peer discussion.
