In-person event
The Vancouver Chapter is pleased to invite you to a 2025 Annual General Meeting and In-Person PD Event featuring AI transformation in Finance + Team Effectiveness through Change Leadership
AI is rapidly transforming the finance landscape, but the adoption thereof can be overwhelming.
This session will provide an overview of key considerations to embrace AI into the Finance area as part of the transformation journey. We will focus on the practical applications of these technologies in the finance function, bringing real-life use cases, demos, ideas and opportunities to drive value.
In addition, during times of fiscal constraint, psychological safety is not a luxury—it’s a necessity.
When people feel safe to speak up, share ideas, and admit mistakes without fear, teams innovate faster, catch problems earlier, and adapt more effectively to change. It costs nothing, but it preserves trust, engagement, and resilience—the very things that sustain performance when resources are tight and economic uncertainty is high.
