The Financial Lead of the Future: Focusing on the Human Element of Finance in Tomorrow’s Business Environment

As one Financial Forum participant noted in our February forum, “Reports don’t create results, it’s what people do with them.” Indeed, from driving employee engagement to developing accountability structures, today’s financial leads must not only have an astute financial mind but must also be a talented leader.

How It Works

Inspire Dialogues

The AmCham Financial Forum offers a safe, unique cross-industry setting that inspires conversation on a variety of topics relevant to finance leads.





Foster Innovation

We find that by breaking leaders outside of the same old industry-specific dialogues, we encourage people to start thinking more creatively. The AmCham Financial Forum allows different industries to learn from each other – and that's where true innovation happens.

Build Networks

As a corporate leader, having a network of peers is an invaluable tool for ensuring future success. Through the AmCham Financial Forum, participants can engage with directly with leaders facing similar opportunities – and challenges.


Forum Format

AmCham’s Finanical Forums are hosted on a rotating basis by AmCham’s member companies, featuring twenty participants and a program that runs approximately two hours.

The host of each forum typically gives a presentation on an agreed forum related topic during the first 15 minutes of the forum. From that point, participants engage in a moderated roundtable discussion for the remainder of the session.
