Ali shares how ADAPT Edge’s content, speakers, and vendor conversations deliver immediate value for finance leaders.

Ali explains that the keynote content feels highly relevant to his role, particularly with the strong emphasis on AI. What stood out most to him was the practicality of the sessions, with clear, actionable ideas he could take back to his team.

He also values the 1-to-1 meetings, noting that direct conversations with vendors often reveal features or capabilities his internal teams may not be aware of. In past events, these discussions have helped him uncover functionality his organisation could activate and benefit from.

When recommending CFO Edge to peers, Ali points to the shared learning and the energy that comes from being in a room of experienced Finance leaders. He believes the time investment pays off, not only through personal learnings but through the contribution attendees make to one another.

"I get to meet so many great people. It’s a great networking event, but also I get to see new technologies… I’ve taken notes from a couple of speakers that I’m going to go back next week and apply to my team."
