The first of three sections of the Congress is dedicated to the financial agenda. The opening presentation of David Marek (Deloitte) will introduce not only the current economic outlook for 2015 and beyond, but it will also focus on development forecasts of the course of crown vs. EUR and US, practical insights on "What CFO should take into account while drafting a plan for 2016 and beyond" and many other interesting topics from the field of financial management.

The second part of the congress will offer two panel discussions focusing on modern trends in the financial world. The first is about Big Data. Moderator Filip Doušek (Mibcon), like the other panelists will be sharing his experience through case studies and specific questions from the ranks of the auditorium. The second section is intended for those who want to discover new trends in controlling and strategies of the financial department. The discussion will be led by Ondřej Jež together with glossarist Lenka Neuvirtová (both Deloitte).

The final part will be devoted to the discussion on specific issues that "burn" the financial directors.
