Dear Colleague,

FSN’s InnTech2020, “Innovation & Technology In the Finance Function”, conference is a unique event, with presentations inspired, sourced and curated by the global membership of the FSN Modern Finance Community on LinkedIn.

The agenda for InnTech2020 is research-based, (not supplier-led), building on the insights gleaned from our independent research studies over the last few years and the valuable experience of our members. The talks they give will be authentic presentations of their challenges and successes, to help you understand the transformational qualities of future technology trends, how to prepare for them and how to make a compelling business case for change. Our aim is to inspire you and help you inspire others.

As in the past, we have kept the cost of attending the InnTech2020 to an absolute minimum, reflecting our desire to make the trip affordable for as many members and their finance teams as possible in the UK and abroad.

I do hope that you will take a good look at our agenda. It’s not only a wonderful learning opportunity, but also an opportunity to meet colleagues, some of whom you may already have met in the LinkedIn modern finance community,

Finally, there is a fun element with a networking gala dinner on the first night with prizes for presentations and comments in the LinkedIn group.

I look forward to welcoming you to this wonderful learning and sharing event and hope you will help to make it a great success.

Regards
Gary
