Now in its fifth year, the Best Practices Conference Series has become the nation’s premier forum for senior financial executives to exchange ideas on creative, innovative and--best of all--proven solutions for managing in the face of complex change.

Year after year, our award-winning editorial staff has zeroed in on key themes in financial management that are changing the face of competition. And this year is no exception:

• Designing an optimal capital structure for the new economy
• Managing financial information in the midst of a supply chain revolution
• Creating lasting value in mergers and acquisitions
• Setting the stage for virtual financial information exchange

  The strength of the Best Practices conference is above all its real-world orientation. Through case material, expert advice and peer interaction, we will separate the proven and the practical from the faddish and the fanciful.
