GDS International Invites Top Financial Services Executives Across North America to its CFO Summit in July

ATLANTA, Georgia, May 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

On the 24-26 July, the Evergreen Marriot Resort in Atlanta, Georgia, will play host to a consortium of C-level executives and corporate officers from the nation's most innovative and cutting-edge Fortune 500 companies, attending the latest CFO Summit (http://www.cfosummitus.com). Positioned at the very pinnacle of industry movements, this year's Summit promises to continue its trend as the most well respected event for CFOs across the range of mature industries in the US.

Top C-level executives will be present to discuss bleeding-edge business challenges, ranging from the expanding role of the CFO, to working risk management and reporting to name but a few.

The Summit combines high-level roundtable discussions with next generation solutions that, together with the Summit's Director, Peter Adkins, have been championed by the Summit's very own NG20 - populated by the industry's best-in-class thought leaders - who have played a pivotal part in shaping the Summit's two-and-a-half day agenda.

Included within the Summit's senior executive delegation are Jeff Hall, EVP & CFO for Express Scripts; Hard Rock Café's CFO, Tom Gispanski; Krish Venkataraman, CFO & CAO for Global Technology & Operations at NYSE Euronext; Christopher E. Greiner, Director & CFO Business Analytics at IBM Software Group; and Tom Jones, Former CEO, Citigroup Global Investment Management, Distinguished Professor of Accounting, Pace University Lubin School of Business.

James Butler, CFO, Georgia for United Health Group, attending last year’s CFO Summit at the Boulders Resort in Scottsdale, Arizona, said: “The interaction with delegates was top notch; I couldn’t believe the quality of my peer group.” 

Of course, the event has been designed specifically for the forward-thinking senior executive sat in and around the CFO position within a variety of industries throughout the US, drawing on experiences and discussing challenges facing the sector. The CFO Summit will offer comprehensive one-to-one meetings to give delegates the opportunity to meet with business analysts and solution providers to discuss strategy and technological demands in the rapidly evolving space of the CFO.

Peter Adkins, Director of the CFO Summit at GDS International - the global B2B events firm behind the CFO Summit - believes the high calibre of speakers and exceptional content, combined with excellent opportunities for networking, give the delegates and sponsors true value for money and a significant return on their investment.

"We've been hugely grateful for the expertise and input from all our session leaders in putting the program together - along with the brilliant guidance of our NG20 members who met earlier in the year to set the Summit's laser-focused agenda. This year's CFO Summit will touch on all the major issues being felt by CFOs across the country. From restoring fiscal soundness and stability and the concerns of over-regulation, to healthcare reform including cost and deficit - via how CFOs drive innovation through the marriage of technology and finance - we'll also be taking a look at macro-economic perspectives and how it relates to investor confidence amid uncertainty.

"I would like to thank our entire delegation, sponsors, research partners and analyst partners for their continued support and ongoing commitment towards making this year's Summit a huge success."
