8:45 am - 9:15 am KEYNOTE PRESENTATION: USING AI TO REDUCE MANUAL WORK AND IMPROVE DECISIONS WITHOUT INCREASING RISK

Eva Frehner - Global Head of Treasury, Sulzer Ltd
Many treasury teams are experimenting with AI and advanced automation, and a common theme emerging is uncertainty around where these tools are
delivering the most value. Discover where AI is already delivering practical value in treasury today and how treasurers are integrating it into existing processes without creating new risks or dependencies.

• Uncover where treasurers are using AI to remove low value manual work
• How teams are testing AI use cases without disrupting core controls
• Practical steps to introduce AI in a way the business and auditors are
comfortable with

9:15 am - 9:45 am SPONSOR PRESENTATION: THE TREASURY TRIANGLE: ENABLING TREASURERS TO TAKE CONTROL OF WORKING CAPITAL IN THE SUPPLY CHAIN

Payment terms sit at the centre of working capital, yet ownership is often fragmented across procurement, logistics and finance. Explore how treasurers are regaining influence over supplier terms by aligning internal stakeholders around shared outcomes rather than competing priorities.

• Working capital gains through greater control of supplier payment terms
• Commercial and operational wins created by better supplier data and
coordination
• Sustainable automation that reduces workload rather than adding
complexity



9:50 am - 10:20 am 1:1 BUSINESS MEETINGS

9:50 am - 10:20 am THINK TANK: TRADE FINANCE DIGITILISATION: CONTROL, VISIBILITY AND THE POINT OF DIMINISHING RETURNS
Trade finance is one of the last areas of treasury to modernise at scale, yet expectations often exceed what platforms can realistically deliver.
Understand where digitisation has genuinely improved control and visibility, and where additional investment has created friction rather than value.

• Greater confidence in control and oversight where processes have been
selectively digitised
• Points at which standardisation across banks and regions has reduced flexibility
• Early signs that further investment is adding complexity rather than
simplifying operations


10:25 am - 10:55 am 1:1 BUSINESS MEETINGS

11:00 am - 11:30 am 1:1 BUSINESS MEETINGS

11:00 am - 11:30 am THINK TANK: REAL-TIME TREASURY OR REAL-TIME NOISE? TURNING VISIBILITY INTO BETTER DECISIONS

Treasury teams have invested heavily in visibility, more dashboards, more feeds, more data, yet decision-making often still lags volatility. As organisations push toward real-time cash, forecasting and risk oversight, the challenge is no longer access to information, but confidence, prioritisation and control.

• Clear distinctions between visibility that drives action and visibility that creates noise
• The points where forecasting accuracy improves and where it meaningfully
stalls
• Trade-offs between speed, control and governance in real-time treasury
environments
• The impact of data confidence on senior-level decisions under pressure



11:35 am - 12:05 pm FIRESIDE CHAT: AVOIDING THE EXPENSIVE MISTAKES AS AI MOVES FROM PILOTS TO EVERYDAY USE

Teodora Terzieva - Head of Treasury & Digitalization, Evonik Industries

As AI becomes more embedded in treasury processes, new challenges around trust, governance, and decision making are emerging. Discuss and engage as we bring together treasurers at different stages of AI maturity to share what has worked, what has not, and what they would approach differently.

• Has AI genuinely improved speed or decision quality?
• When does automation go too far and need to be rolled back?
• How are treasurers balancing innovation with control and accountability?

12:05 pm - 12:35 pm SPONSOR PRESENTATION: AI IS ONLY AS GOOD AS THE DATA BEHIND IT: WHAT TREASURY TEAMS ARE LEARNING THE HARD WAY

As AI is layered onto forecasting, liquidity, and risk processes, many treasury teams are finding that weak data discipline limits the value these tools can
deliver. This keynote focuses on how AI is exposing long-standing data and process issues, and how leading treasurers are strengthening foundations to ensure modernisation delivers reliable insight rather than false confidence.

• Clear examples of where AI has amplified data weaknesses rather than
resolved them
• Practical steps treasurers are taking to improve data discipline before
scaling AI use
• Early indicators that AI outputs can be trusted for decision support

12:35 pm - 1:30 pm NETWORKING LUNCH

1:30 pm - 2:00 pm THINK TANK: AI IN TREASURY: FROM FIRST STEPS TO FULL AUTOMATION
James Kelly - Co-Founder, YourTreasury

Treasurers are experimenting with GenAI at very different levels, from basic prompting to structured data environments. This session explores practical Copilot usage, creating memory documents that teach AI internal terminology, and defining safe governance boundaries so AI recommends but does not execute. Examine how centralised platforms such as Microsoft Fabric consolidate treasury data into auditable structures, enabling ondemand reporting and insight generation.

• Understand how to use Copilot confidently in daily treasury workflows
• Gain clarity on safe AI usage and governance boundaries
• Learn how to structure treasury data for auditability and control
• Enable faster reporting and actionable insights from AI

2:05 pm - 2:35 pm 1:1 BUSINESS MEETINGS

2:40 pm - 3:10 pm ROUNDTABLE: MANAGING CROSS-BORDER LIQUIDITY IN AN ALWAYS-ON PAYMENTS ENVIRONMENT

This roundtable is aimed at organisations managing complex cross-border flows as settlement speeds increase and liquidity decisions are made under constant movement.

• The impact of always-on settlement on liquidity buffers and funding
confidence
• Trade-offs between FX efficiency and liquidity certainty across time zones
• Pressure points created by increased speed and transparency
• Governance challenges in high-velocity, multi-currency environments

2:40 pm - 3:10 pm ROUNDTABLE: MAKING TREASURY SYSTEMS WORK IN A MULTI-BANK, MULTI-PLATFORM REALITY
This roundtable is designed for organisations operating across multiple banks, ERPs, and treasury tools, where the promise of a single system rarely
matches reality. The discussion focuses on how treasurers are creating workable system landscapes that support visibility and control without overengineering.

• Practical approaches to managing fragmented TMS and banking environments
• Trade-offs between standardisation and local flexibility across regions
• Indicators that system complexity is starting to undermine decision
confidence

2:40 pm - 3:10 pm ROUNDTABLE: AUTOMATION THAT SCALES VERSUS AUTOMATION THAT BREAKS UNDER PRESSURE

As automation expands across treasury processes, many teams are discovering that what works in isolation does not always scale cleanly. This roundtable explores where automation has delivered sustainable value and where it has introduced fragility, risk, or unintended dependencies.

• Processes where automation has reduced effort without weakening control
• Common failure points when automated processes meet real-world
exceptions
• Signals that automation is increasing operational risk rather than reducing it

3:10 pm - 3:40 pm SPONSOR PRESENTATION: RESTORING CONTROL IN A FRAGMENTED TREASURY LANDSCAPE

As treasury technology environments expand across multiple systems, banks, and automated processes, maintaining clear ownership and control is becoming harder rather than easier. The primary focus is on how treasurers are addressing fragmentation, strengthening accountability, and ensuring automation supports governance rather than obscuring it.

• Clearer ownership across automated processes and system handoffs
• Reduced operational risk in multi-system and multi-bank environments
• Greater confidence in controls, auditability, and exception handling

4:55 pm - 5:25 pm PANEL DISCUSSION: NAVIGATING THE COMPLEX DATA LANDSCAPE TO IDENTIFY WHAT DATA GENERATES ACTIONABLE INSIGHTS

Declan Doorly - Group Treasurer, DCC
Guy Ingram - VP of Treasury Operations, Anglo American
Omar Ibarra - Treasury Director EMEA, Clarios
Treasury teams now have access to more data than ever, but the value is not always clear. This panel brings together different perspectives on where
additional data has genuinely improved outcomes and where it has added complexity or distraction.

• Does greater data lead to better funding or liquidity decisions?
• Are there situations where additional reporting created noise rather than clarity?
• How do you define the right level of information for effective control?

5:30 pm - 6:00 pm KEYNOTE PRESENTATION: HOW LEADING TREASURERS ARE CREATING CLARITY DESPITE SYSTEM LIMITATIONS

Michael Ben Moshe - VP treasury, Teva Pharmaceutical

Most treasury teams have invested heavily in systems, yet many still struggle to get timely, trusted information when it matters most. Looking at why systems often fail to deliver decision-ready insight and how Group Treasurers are refocusing on outcomes rather than functionality.

• Where treasury systems most commonly fall short in supporting real
decisions
• Why integration and data quality matter more than adding new tools
• How leading treasurers are resetting expectations around what systems
should deliver
