CFO SUMMIT 2026
Aligning capital, talent and technology in a disrupted global economy
Thursday 5 March | In-person and Online | The Round Room at The Mansion House, Dublin
How can CFOs build resilience as economic volatility, geopolitical tension and technological disruption converge?
CFOs are operating in an environment of compounding uncertainty. Inflation remains stubborn, fiscal deficits are rising, and tariff threats are reshaping trade flows. Political instability is making long-term planning harder. At the same time, internal transformation is accelerating; AI is changing finance teams, energy has become a board-level concern, and skills shortages are constraining growth.
To address this evolving environment, EY and the Financial Times will convene senior executives, policymakers and industry leaders in Dublin. This high-level morning briefing will examine the forces reshaping global business strategy and the finance function. Discussions will explore how volatility, technology transformation and operational pressures are redefining the role of the CFO at a pivotal moment for global markets.
