Our Conferences
"I started attending the EFCG CFO Conferences in 2006 when I was a new Controller. These conferences have helped shape my professional career and growth as a leader thanks to the knowledge sharing and networking. As a CFO today, I still look forward to this annual opportunity to learn, share, and network with my peers in the industry."
