About the event
We live in a world where data complexity and volume is surging, and there is a growing demand for strategic, forward looking insights.
Finance leaders are increasingly being asked to play a critical role in the adoption and usage of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) to enhance decision making, optimise investments, and manage risk.
Join us at this exclusive lunch for finance leaders to explore the evolution of AI and ML and how it is shaping Financial Planning and Analysis processes, from task automation to greater insights and better forecasting.
