Expand your Horizons and Immerse yourself in High-Level Discussion, Powerful Networking and Forward-Thinking Finance Leadership with the top CFOs & Finance Leaders at the Leading CFO Conference in Singapore.

As Singapore reinforces its position as Asia’s leading financial and business hub, the city-state continues to anchor regional capital flows, multinational headquarters, and innovation-driven enterprise growth. Heading into 2026, organisations in Singapore are operating in a complex macroeconomic environment shaped by global interest rate uncertainty, persistent inflationary pressures, geopolitical fragmentation, and tighter regulatory and compliance expectations. Against this backdrop—alongside accelerating digitalisation, rapid AI adoption, and heightened scrutiny around sustainability, governance, and risk—finance leaders are being challenged to safeguard resilience while driving productivity, strategic investment, and long-term value creation.

The Finance ReImagined Singapore 2026 marks the next evolution of the long-running DigitalCFO Asia Singapore Symposium. Rebranded as Finance ReImagined Singapore, this year’s edition reflects the expanding mandate of today’s CFO—from financial steward to strategic advisor, AI enabler, and sustainability leader. Under the theme “Transforming Strategy, Inspiring Leadership & Delivering Impact,” the symposium will examine how finance leaders can harness AI to improve forecasting accuracy, risk management, and operational efficiency, while strengthening governance and meeting rising expectations for credible sustainability and ESG reporting.

Designed to be more immersive and interactive than ever before, Finance ReImagined Singapore 2026 places strong emphasis on high-quality peer engagement. Delegates will take part in in-depth breakout roundtable discussions that foster candid, off-the-record exchanges, alongside enhanced networking opportunities throughout the day—including a dedicated networking luncheon and informal post-event networking drinks - creating multiple opportunities to build meaningful connections with fellow CFOs and senior finance leaders.

Join an exclusive community of CFOs and finance professionals in Singapore as they come together to exchange insights, challenge conventional finance thinking, and reimagine the future of finance leadership in an era defined by AI, sustainability, and economic complexity.

The Intelligent Office of the CFO: Embedding AI Where it Matters Most

Synopsis:
As AI moves from experimentation to execution, the question for finance leaders is no longer whether to adopt it — but where it creates the most meaningful impact.

Drawing on SAP’s vision for the Office of the CFO, we examine how purpose-built AI — grounded in trusted financial data and integrated across end-to-end finance processes — is enabling teams to move faster, decide with greater confidence, and elevate finance’s role as a strategic partner to the business. Practical, outcomes-focused and grounded in real-world deployment, this session offers finance leaders a clear perspective on how to move from AI ambition to measurable enterprise value.
