The future-ready finance leader: How FAB 2025 will help you stay ahead
The role of finance leaders is changing fast. Gone are the days of simply managing budgets and financial reporting – today’s CFOs, finance directors, and senior finance professionals are expected to drive strategic growth, implement new technologies, be a trusted advisor within the business and navigate an increasingly complex regulatory landscape.
Staying ahead requires more than keeping up with the latest industry updates – it demands continuous learning, innovation, and real-world insights. That’s where FAB 2025 comes in. Taking place on 12-13 March at the NEC Birmingham, FAB is designed to give finance professionals the tools, strategies, and connections needed to lead with confidence in 2025 and beyond.
Master the latest financial regulations
Regulatory changes are reshaping how finance teams operate. From Companies House reforms to e-invoicing, and the ongoing evolution of Making Tax Digital (MTD), compliance is becoming more complex. At FAB, you'll hear directly from HMRC and top regulatory experts about how these changes will impact businesses and what you need to do to prepare.
Sessions such as Essential Tax Update with Rebecca Benneyworth and Corporate Tax Tactics will give you the insights needed to keep your organisation compliant while maintaining efficiency.
Harness AI and automation for smarter finance operations
AI and automation are no longer optional—they’re shaping the future of finance. From predictive analytics to automated reporting and AI-powered fraud detection, technology is revolutionising how finance teams operate. But how do you implement AI in a way that enhances workflows rather than disrupting them?
At FAB 2025, sessions on the Business of Finance Stage and across other stages will explore how AI can streamline decision-making, optimise cash flow, and improve forecasting accuracy. Live demos and hands-on workshops will give you the opportunity to test the latest AI-driven tools and understand how to integrate them into your finance function with minimal risk.
Lead strategic growth with confidence
Beyond compliance and technology, finance leaders are now key drivers of business strategy. But with economic uncertainty and shifting market conditions, how do you ensure sustainable growth?
FAB 2025 will provide insights from industry leaders who have successfully guided organisations through expansion, investment decisions, and financial restructuring. Sessions like The Strategy Co-Pilot and Economic Life’s a Rollercoaster: Navigating Market Volatility will help you sharpen your strategic mindset, giving you practical takeaways to support long-term business resilience.
The networking opportunities you won’t get anywhere else
One of the biggest challenges for finance professionals is staying connected with peers who understand your challenges. FAB isn’t just about learning – it’s about building relationships with like-minded leaders, industry innovators, and tech providers.
Whether you join a panel discussion, supplier Q&A, or informal networking session, you’ll gain access to invaluable insights from those who are leading change in finance.
Earn CPD points while shaping your future
With 16 CPD points available across two days, FAB combines professional development with real-world impact. You’ll leave the event with new skills, practical strategies, and the knowledge to make meaningful changes in your finance function.
