What is your company's biggest challenge today?

The CFOs we talk to say it's all about delivering strong and steady profitable growth year after year. Whether your company is owned by public equity or private equity investors, chances are, the board is demanding more growth and higher margins—even if a new marketplace opportunity may not be crystal clear.

In the words of David Axson, an expert on planning and performance management who is back at CFO Rising this year by popular demand:

"CFOs are ideally positioned to steer their organizations through the turbulence of today's competitive and volatile markets—but too many are constrained by outmoded management practices that were designed for simpler times. Now, it's time for a radical repositioning and retooling of the finance organization—time for the CFO to be a champion of growth and innovation."

In addition to David Axson, you'll be hearing from a top-of-the-line group of presenters, including:

• George Reyes—SVP and CFO, Google
• Renée Mauborgne—Distinguished Fellow of Strategy and International Management, INSEAD, and Author of Blue Ocean Strategy
• Nancy Loewe—VP and CFO, GE Consumer & Industrial
• Robert Daleo—EVP and CFO, The Thomson Corporation
• David Wyss—Chief Economist, Standard & Poor's
• Chuck Martin—Best-selling Author of Managing for the Short Term
• Plus a pre-conference workshop, Measure, Manage, Maximize Value, presented by G. Bennett Stewart III, Co-Founder of Stern Stewart, and one of our all-time most acclaimed speakers

You'd expect your peers to be enthusiastic about this key networking, knowledge-sharing and learning event. And they are. We asked a few of last year's delegates what they thought...

"Informative and thought-provoking...I emerged with an extensive list of 'action items' to be pursued as I return to the office."

"Excellent and practical information to help me perform a better job and improve my company."

"Very high quality speakers and relevant topics."

"My first CFO Rising will not be my last!"

"Great job with the conference! I really enjoyed it with much 'take home' value."

"Great location, timing and content."

"World class event!"

That's the view from the conference floor. And there's another reason to attend CFO Rising...
